Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting defects or conditions of railcar systems are disclosed. Raw images depicting railcars can be received and curated into one or more training datasets each comprising at least some of the raw images. One or more machine-learning algorithms can be trained with the training dataset(s). A field image set comprising field images that depict at least a portion of an operating railcar and were obtained contemporaneously from multiple different viewpoints of the operating railcar can be received. A three-dimensional depiction of at least a portion of a railcar can be generated based on the field images. The machine-learning algorithm(s) can be applied to the field images and/or the three-dimensional depiction, and a condition of the operating railcar can be determined based at least in part on the field images and/or three-dimensional depiction.
