Abstract
How to ensure the safety of a locomotive is a crucial problem, when it moves in a curved railway at night. For solving this problem, a new adaptive locomotive headlamp system based on monocular vision is proposed in this paper. The method consists of two key steps. First, a single-camera is provided to capture the tracks in front of the locomotive, and an image processing algorithm is proposed to obtain the key related parameters. Next, combined with the position feedback signal of the headlamps and the parameters obtained in the previous step, an adaptive control method is proposed to rotate the headlamps. By this way, the light emitted from the headlamps will always be on the axis of the railway, thus ensuring the safety of the locomotive.
