The cracks are one of the main forms of rail plate breakage, and the safe operation and service level of the high-speed railway is seriously influenced.
In the prior art, static manual detection is adopted as the current main mode, the manual detection efficiency is low, the accuracy is low, and the serious missed detection is commonly known. In addition, in order to ensure the normal operation of the high-speed railway, the detection needs to be carried out at night, and the detection difficulty of the cracks is undoubtedly increased. Therefore, it is very important to accurately obtain the geometric information of the crack by using an automatic detection technology and provide a scientific basis for subsequent railway maintenance.

The specific technical scheme is as follows:
a rail plate crack detection method comprises the following steps:
(1) calculating the gradient of the cross section to distinguish the convex cross section from the suspected crack cross section and initially identify the crack;
(2) testing the Gaussian distribution significance of the section by using a specially designed W test method, and finding out the actual crack section;
(3) and carrying out edge gradient characteristic inspection on the actual crack section to obtain the actual crack section which is consistent with the crack width.
Further, a vehicle-mounted railway track surface state inspection system is adopted, and the system comprises a control computer with 8 cores, a system power supply box WPC, a system control box WCC, a positioning system consisting of a GPS receiver and an inertial gyroscope IMU, 7 laser-camera acquisition units, a distance measuring instrument DMI, a driving recording camera ROW and the like.
Further, adopting gradient characteristic inspection in the step (1);
to accommodate for the variation in crack width, a normalized index is used to measure the cross-sectional slope. Probability is a measure of the magnitude of the probability of a random event occurring, with values in the range of [0,1], with values closer to 1 being more likely for the event to occur. The principle is that whether the section has the characteristic of a crack shape or not is judged by respectively calculating the inclination degree of curves at two sides of the section to the center of the section, and the specific calculation process is as follows:

in the formula: e is an index for representing the shape of the cross section and can measure the height, fat and thinness of the Gaussian curve.Smaller E indicates that the section is "shorter or thicker" and is more likely to belong to a textured region, while larger E indicates that the section is "taller and thinner" and is more likely to be a fractured section. SigmacThe variance of the whole preprocessed image is shown, n is the total number of pixels of the section S, and χ is a constant coefficient.
Further, in the step (3), edge gradient characteristic inspection is adopted;
