project aims in designing railway track crack detection system using LED. Based on the review, analysis is provided based on the image processing techniques, objectives, accuracy level, error level, and the image data sets. The Track Pedal contains an ultrasonic sensor that will automatically detect the cracks on the track. clean human waste and other garbage thrown on rail tracks is a situation that. Accordingly, 50 research papers are taken related to crack detection, and those research papers are reviewed.
System converts image to grayscale image and uses filtering to remove noise from image. Many image preprocessing steps is used to detect railway track crack. This is why operators must invest time and effort on the monitoring and maintenance of rails to detect and repair breaks. In this research, a detailed survey is conducted to identify the research challenges and the achievements till in this field. Here we propose an innovative approach to detect railway track crack as this system detects crack based on image processing. Broken Rail Detection Accurate and reliable prevention of service interruptions and derailments A rail network is only as reliable, safe and profitable as the track it runs on. Algorithms use edge detection and texture information to provide a robust means of detecting rail, ties and tie plates, which narrows the search area. Literature presents different techniques to automatically identify the crack and its depth using image processing techniques. So, automatic image-based crack detection is proposed as a replacement.
Since the manual approach completely depends on the specialist’s knowledge and experience, it lacks objectivity in the quantitative analysis. In the manual inspection, the sketch of the crack is prepared manually, and the conditions of the irregularities are noted. Manual inspection is the acclaimed method for the crack inspection. Cracks on the concrete surface are one of the earliest indications of degradation of the structure which is critical for the maintenance as well the continuous exposure will lead to the severe damage to the environment.
