Abstract:
A video content analysis system for mobile assets that includes track detection and infrastructure monitoring component. The track detection and infrastructure monitoring includes a reinforcement learning component, an object detection and location component, and an obstruction detection component to analyze video data, audio data, vehicle data, weather data, and route/manifest data to determine internal and/or external conditions relating to an the asset. A data acquisition and recording system uploads the data, internal and/or external condition information, object detection information, object location information, and obstruction detection information to a remote memory module and provides streaming video data in real-time to a remotely located user. Remotely located users can view the data in various view modes through a web browser or virtual reality device, which provides for quicker emergency response, validates the effectiveness of repairs and rerouting, and monitors crew performance and safety.
