Abstract
A vision inspection system and method for use with a railcar includes a vision device adapted to provide an image of each rail component. An image recognition component analyzes the images taken by the vision device to determine the type and condition of each rail component as the vehicle is traveling on the railroad track. A control system communicates with the vision device and the image recognition component. The control system causes workheads of the vehicle to engage respective rail components based on the input received from the vision inspection system. A method for determining the relative distance between the rail components includes comparing the position of the respective rail components of a first image to the position of the respective rail components of a second image to determine the distance between the respective components and distance the railcar has moved.
