文摘In smart driving for rail transit,a reliable obstacle detection system is an important guarantee for the safety of trains.Therein,the detection of the rail area directly affects the accuracy of the system to identify dangerous targets.Both the rail line and the lane are presented as thin line shapes in the image,but the rail scene is more complex,and the color of the rail line is more difficult to distinguish from the background.By comparison,there are already many deep learning-based lane detection algorithms,but there is a lack of public datasets and targeted deep learning detection algorithms for rail line detection.To address this,this paper constructs a rail image dataset RailwayLine and labels the rail line for the training and testing of models.This dataset contains rich rail images including single-rail,multi-rail,straight rail,curved rail,crossing rails,occlusion,blur,and different lighting conditions.To address the problem of the lack of deep learning-based rail line detection algorithms,we improve the CLRNet algorithm which has an excellent performance in lane detection,and propose the CLRNet-R algorithm for rail line detection.To address the problem of the rail line being thin and occupying fewer pixels in the image,making it difficult to distinguish from complex backgrounds,we introduce an attention mechanism to enhance global feature extraction ability and add a semantic segmentation head to enhance the features of the rail region by the binary probability of rail lines.To address the poor curve recognition performance and unsmooth output lines in the original CLRNet algorithm,we improve the weight allocation for line intersection-over-union calculation in the original framework and propose two loss functions based on local slopes to optimize the model’s local sampling point training constraints,improving the model’s fitting performance on curved rails and obtaining smooth and stable rail line detection results.Through experiments,this paper demonstrates that compared with other mainstream lane detection algorithms,the algorithm proposed in this paper has a better performance for rail line detection.
