用注意力机制提升轨道缺陷检测精度与速度,适合车载实时监控。

Transformer-Based Indirect Structural Health Monitoring of Rail Infrastructure with Attention-Driven Detection and Localization of Transient Defects

  • 基于自注意力的变压器模型,通过关注权重异常定位瞬时缺陷。
  • 在2-10厘米小缺陷检测中表现接近顶尖水平,推理速度更快。
  • 专为车载环境设计,对高频局部噪声有更好鲁棒性需求。

利用车载传感器进行间接结构健康监测(iSHM)检测断轨,具有成本低的优势,但小而瞬时的异常(2-10厘米)因车辆动力学复杂、信号噪声大及标注数据稀缺,难以可靠检测。本文提出无监督深度学习方法,构建增量式合成数据基准,系统评估模型在速度变化、多通道输入和真实噪声下的鲁棒性。基于该基准,对比多个经典无监督模型并引入提出的注意力聚焦变换器(Attention-Focused Transformer)。该模型虽通过重建训练,但异常评分主要来自学习到的注意力权重偏离,兼顾效果与效率。结果表明,尽管变压器模型总体优于其他方法,所有模型均对高频局部噪声敏感,构成实际部署瓶颈。所提模型达到与当前最优方案相当的准确率,同时具备更优推理速度,凸显未来iSHM模型亟需增强抗噪能力,其高效注意力机制为车载异常检测系统提供可行基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Indirect structural health monitoring (iSHM) for broken rail detection using onboard sensors presents a cost-effective paradigm for railway track assessment, yet reliably detecting small, transient anomalies (2-10 cm) remains a significant challenge due to complex vehicle dynamics, signal noise, and the scarcity of labeled data limiting supervised approaches. This study addresses these issues through unsupervised deep learning. We introduce an incremental synthetic data benchmark designed to systematically evaluate model robustness against progressively complex challenges like speed variations, multi-channel inputs, and realistic noise patterns encountered in iSHM. Using this benchmark, we evaluate several established unsupervised models alongside our proposed Attention-Focused Transformer. Our model employs a self-attention mechanism, trained via reconstruction but innovatively deriving anomaly scores primarily from deviations in learned attention weights, aiming for both effectiveness and computational efficiency. Benchmarking results reveal that while transformer-based models generally outperform others, all tested models exhibit significant vulnerability to high-frequency localized noise, identifying this as a critical bottleneck for practical deployment. Notably, our proposed model achieves accuracy comparable to the state-of-the-art solution while demonstrating better inference speed. This highlights the crucial need for enhanced noise robustness in future iSHM models and positions our more efficient attention-based approach as a promising foundation for developing practical onboard anomaly detection systems.
