Transversal Defects Detection

Transversal Defects Detection System

This specific inspection, together with the Longitudinal Defect Detection, is responsible for detecting Over Head Line components and their possible failures.

The processing algorithms need to recognize all the different elements of the overhead line with the related defects and automatically generate a list of faults.

Transversal Defects Detection System

Based on high resolution digital cameras and high power illumination modules, the Transversal Defects Detection System acquires high resolution images of cantilevers, line hangers and insulators, residing in the transversal plane, and evaluates changes and/or corrosion in these objects. Through a double sided imaging process, triggered by the Pole Detection System, images are acquired on both sides of the cantilever infrastructure. Each defect is associated automatically to the kilometer/mile position on the track and the related image is saved in a file for further evaluation by the technicians.
