At present, to solve the problem of monitoring and assessing the state of railways, it is necessary to involve extensive human resources. The visual inspection system proposed in the article uses images obtained from digital line-scan cameras installed in places of effective observation, and a new method for detecting foreign objects in the context of railway maintenance is proposed. The results obtained in the course of modeling the operation of algorithms for detecting suspicious objects provide an opportunity to estimate the system response time to an incident and generate appropriate alarms
detection of foreign objects, railway tracks, segmentation, classification of objects, reaction time
