    A new adaptive binarization method is proposed for the vehicle state images obtained from the intelligent operation and maintenance system of rail transit. The method can check the corresponding vehicle status information in the intelligent operation and maintenance system of rail transit more quickly and effectively, track and monitor the vehicle operation status in real time, and improve the emergency response ability of the system. The advantages of the proposed method mainly include two points. For decolorization, we use the method of contrast preserving decolorization[1] obtain the appropriate ratio of R, G, and B for the grayscale of the RGB image which can retain the color information of the vehicle state images background to the maximum, and maintain the contrast between the foreground and the background. In terms of threshold selection, the mean value and standard deviation of gray value corresponding to multi-color background of vehicle state images are obtained by using major cluster estimation[2], and the adaptive threshold is determined by the 2 sigma principle for binarization, which can extract text, identifier and other target information effectively. The experimental results show that, regarding the vehicle state images with rich background color information, this method is better than the traditional binarization methods, such as the global threshold Otsu algorithm[3] and the local threshold Sauvola algorithm[4],[5] based on threshold, Mean-Shift algorithm[6], K-Means algorithm[7] and Fuzzy C Means[8] algorithm based on statistical learning. As an image preprocessing scheme for intelligent rail transit data verification, the method can improve the accuracy of text and identifier recognition effectively by verifying the optical character recognition through a data set containing images of different vehicle statuses.

    This paper mainly proposes a line segment detection method based on pseudo peak suppression and local Hough transform, which has good noise resistance and can solve the problems of short line segment missing detection, false detection, and oversegmentation. In addition, in response to the phenomenon of uneven development in nuclear emulsion tomographic images, this paper proposes an image preprocessing process that uses the “Difference of Gaussian” method to reduce noise and then uses the standard deviation of the gray value of each pixel to bundle and unify the gray value of each pixel, which can robustly obtain the linear features in these images. The tests on the actual dataset of nuclear emulsion tomographic images and the public YorkUrban dataset show that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of convolutional neural network or vision in transformer-based event classification for alpha-decay events in nuclear emulsion. In particular, the line segment detection method in the proposed method achieves optimal results in both accuracy and processing speed, which also has strong generalization ability in high quality natural images.
