Industry Leading AI for Rail

ML (Machine Learning)

ATLAS utilises a form of Machine Learning to automatically recognise asset classes. ATLAS has built up a vast library of rail assets including line-side assets, track assets, structures and much more. Detected assets are then geolocated with both their physical location (lat/long) and also their track position (chainage).
Users can view the detected assets on ATLAS web based platform, to amend classifications, train new asset classes, or delete false detections.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition)

Additional information can then be extracted depending on the asset identified. Our built in OCR can extract readable text, such as Signal ID plates or Speed Signs, to provide additional information to the end user. This attribute data is automatically populated against the identified assets.

Video Point Clouds

ATLAS can automatically convert front facing video feeds into video point clouds. Although not sub-millimeter accurate, they still provide enhanced analysis such as geo-positioning of assets or basic measurements for safe working zones.

Point clouds are generally extremely large files, and can be difficult to transfer, view and manipulate. ATLAS streams point clouds in such a way that they can be viewed on the web, with a standard browser and internet connection, without the need for sophisticated computing power. ATLAS works with all standard point cloud file types.

Asset Recognition & Segmentation

ATLAS has been trained on numerous asset classes and will automatically segment assets detected in a point cloud. Vegetation is also detected . Changes between clouds taken at the same location on different dates can be flagged, along with comparisons to 3D design models.

Structural Gauging & Clearances

ATLAS can automatically measure clearances for both point and linear assets that it detects. These can be used for clearance profiles and gauging analysis of structures.

Vegetation Monitoring

Vegetation is automatically segmented. Rules can be applied to alert when vegetation crosses a pre-defined threshold.
