Abstract

A defect detection system includes one or more route optical sensors configured to generate image data depicting an underbody of a vehicle that is on a route. The defect detection system also includes a controller configured to input the image data generated by the one or more route optical sensors into a first machine learning algorithm that determines an area of interest in the image data. The area of interest contains equipment of interest. The controller is configured to input the image data that is within the area of interest into a second machine learning algorithm that detects a defect on the equipment of interest. The controller is configured to perform at least one responsive action based on a type of defect that is detected.
