High speed railway asset mapping system using enhanced 3D imaging and automated visual analytics.

该项目旨在通过开发一种能够为铁路提供高速资产监测和自动资产识别的新型设备，证明在铁路网测量中产生高影响进展的可行性。它旨在支持网络铁路及其分包商的工作，这些分包商需要详细的铁路基础设施资产地图。该项目基于牛津大学移动机器人集团最近获得的专利知识产权。激光扫描和高清相机硬件的结合将与卫星导航系统相结合，创建一个3D地形正确的铁路网络资产地图，并使用最新的视觉分析技术进行自动分析。将建立试点单位并展示产出。

This project aims to prove the feasibility of producing a high impact advance in surveying of the railway network through the development of a novel device capable of high speed asset monitoring and automated asset identification for the railways. It is aimed to support the work of Network Rail and their sub-contractors who require detailed asset maps of the rail infrastructure. The project builds on recently patented IP from Oxford University Mobile Robotics Group. The combination of Laser Scanning and HD camera hardware will combine with satellite navigation systems to create a 3D topometrically correct asset map of the rail network which is automatically analysed with the latest visual analytics techniques. Trial units will be developed and outputs displayed.
