Abstract

This paper presents a design of a detection method of pantograph slide’s abrasion. First, cascade filter with dynamic intensity is adopted to filter original images. The local contrast enhancement algorithm based on local standard deviation is used to enhance the target area. Next, the adaptive threshold Canny edge detection algorithm is then performed on the preprocessed images to extract the edge of slides. The slide edges are located by Hough transform, and the actual slide residual thickness can be calculated by the camera calibration method.
