RailEyes Vegetation Detection

Railway vegetation intelligence using semantic segmentation for corridor growth, including high grass, low grass, tree trunks, tree tops, and miscellaneous vegetation classes.

Documented basis

The DriveTrust project implemented a production-grade vegetation pipeline with human-in-the-loop validation and retraining on real Portuguese rail network data.

RailEyes Vegetation Detection

Vegetation workflow

From corridor imagery to validated vegetation events.

RailEyes turns captured corridor imagery into reviewable vegetation events by combining rail-trained segmentation, zone-aware filtering, depth context where appropriate, and operator validation. Corrected findings can feed retraining so the model improves around real railway conditions.

Rail-specific vegetation classes for corridor review.

Zone and distance context to reduce review noise.

Human validation for operational confidence and model improvement.

Operator value

Why railway teams care.

Teams can move from disconnected imagery to structured vegetation events, validation status, and location-based maintenance planning.

Investor value

Why this can compound.

Validated rail-specific vegetation data can become a defensible dataset for infrastructure inspection, seasonal planning, and future predictive maintenance.

Workflow

How RailEyes Vegetation Detection fits into the RailEyes platform.

Capture forward-facing corridor imagery from operating trains.
Run segmentation to identify vegetation classes in the scene.
Filter detections by zones and depth where appropriate.
Let reviewers mark events as correct or wrong for model improvement.
