Detection of bird nests in overhead catenary system images for high-speed rail

作者:

Highlights:

• The first work to systematically analyze the properties of bird nests in OCS images.

• The first work to automatically detect the bird nest for high-speed rail system.

• A five-phase framework is novelly proposed to detect the bird nest.

• HOS and HLS histograms are proposed to represent the distributions of streaks.

• Experiments on real high-speed rail lines demonstrate the effectiveness.
