Railway fasteners are used to securely fix rails to sleeper blocks. Partial wear or complete loss of these components can lead to serious accidents and cause train derailments. To ensure the safety of railway transportation, computer vision and pattern recognition-based methods are increasingly used to inspect railway infrastructure. In particular, it has become an important task to detect defects in railway tracks. This is challenging since rail track images are acquired using a measuring train in varying environmental conditions, at different times of day and in poor lighting conditions, and the resulting images often have low contrast. In this study, …

One of the main problems associated with the bagging technique in ensemble learning is its random sample selection in which all samples are treated with the same chance of being selected. However, in time-varying dynamic systems, the samples in the training set have not equal importance, where the recent samples contain more useful and accurate information than the former ones. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a new time-based ensemble learning method, called temporal bagging (T-Bagging). The significant advantage of our method is that it assigns larger weights to more recent samples with respect to older ones, so it …
