Abstract:

At present, the geometrical dimension measurement of the rail profile is mostly based on manual measurement. The high-precision profile detection system based on the laser profiler can improve work efficiency of manual measurement and reduce measurement errors. The median filtering method was used to preprocess the profile data collected by the laser profilometer, and the coordinate system was transformed by coordinate translation and coordinate rotation. Then, the appropriate feature point was selected by quadratic fitting to match the silhouette stitching. After field test, the repeated measurement error of the rail profile size was less than 0.1 mm, and the absolute measurement accuracy was up to 0.014 mm. These experimental value met the requirements of the national standard for the detection accuracy of the rail profile, indicating the proposed method could effectively improve the detection efficiency of the rail.

Key words: rail profile, median filtering, coordinate transformation, laser profiler, profile detection, quadratic fitting
