Abstract
A computer-implemented method in which one or more processing devices perform operations may include obtaining a field image of a railcar collected from a field camera system and applying a machine-learning algorithm to the field image to generate a machine-learning algorithm output. The method may also include performing a post-processing operation on the machine-learning algorithm output to generate a filtered machine-learning algorithm output. Further, the method may include detecting a defect of the railcar using the filtered machine-learning algorithm output.
