Foreign object detection is crucial for railway safety, preventing accidents and ensuring smooth operations.

Experimental results demonstrate that FRAD outperforms traditional object detection methods in identifying anomalies on rail tracks by a large margin.

摘要

Foreign object detection is crucial for railway safety, preventing accidents and ensuring smooth operations. Current railway foreign object detection methods face two significant challenges: the scarcity of annotated real-world data and the inability to adapt to complex scenarios. This paper proposes a novel FARD (Fully Automated Railway Anomaly Detection System) approach to address these issues. FARD incorporates two key components: (i) A Diffusion model with inpainting technique to generate a diverse and realistic auxiliary dataset of railway anomalies, effectively representing real-world outliers. (ii) An integrated framework combining traditional object detection pipeline with reconstruction-based anomaly detection module for robust foreign object detection in railway environments. Experimental results demonstrate that FRAD outperforms traditional object detection methods in identifying anomalies on rail tracks by a large margin. This research offers a robust, data-efficient solution for railway foreign object detection that works well even with limited initial data.
