SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND INTERPRETING POINT CLOUDS OF A RAIL CORRIDOR ALONG A SURVEY PATH

Abstract:

An autonomous system for generating and interpreting point clouds of a rail corridor along a survey path while moving on a railroad corridor assessment platform. The system includes two LiDAR sensors configured to scan along scan planes that intersect but not at all points. The LiDAR sensors are housed in autonomously controlled and temperature controlled protective enclosures.
