英文摘要：

Rail surface defects detection is one of the most important approaches to ensure the safety of railway transportation.A rail surface defect automatic inspecting system based on machine vision has been designed and the rail surface defect region extraction techniques are investigated.Otsu adaptive threshold segmentation algorithm is improved and the rail surface region is extracted by a method of adaptive binary image projection based on peak district detecting.Finally,the method of hollowing out interior point and chain code tracking algorithm are used to obtain and store the defect contour information.Using this method,the rail surface defect region can be automatically detected.The experiment results indicate that the proposed method can quickly locate the region of rail surface and accurately and automatically extract the defect image.The processing of each image consumes an average time of 11 ms,which shows that the proposed method has a practical application prospect.
