A Preliminary Study on 2D Convolutional Neural Network-Based Discontinuous Rail Position Classification for Detection on Rail Breaks Using Distributed Acoustic Sensing Data by Hye-Yeun Chun, Jungtai Kim, Dongkue Kim, Ilmu Byun, Kyeongjun Ko

“…After that, the data in the space–time domain occupied by the train is converted to the spectrogram which is in the frequency domain by using short-time Fourier transformation (STFT). In the third step, the spectrogram images are applied to the proposed 2D convolutional neural network (2D CNN) model and the network detects discontinuous rail positions along the track, which are geometrically distinct from continuous welded rails, such as rail breaks. …”
