  • Abstract
    Inspection of the rail state in order to detect defects is one of the basic tasks in railway maintenance. Rail defects exhibit different properties and are divided in various categories relating to the type and position of flaws on the rail. We propose a technique, based on texture analysis of the rail surface, to detect and classify a particular class of defects: corrugation
