Abstract
When the rail wear measurement is carried out in the wild,the interference from outside strong sunlight is inevitable.In order to eliminate the interference effect of sunlight effectively,a laser lock-in imaging technology was utilized.An external controlling circuit triggered the lasers and CCD image acquisition synchronously,and high quality image was achieved by means of laser lock-in imaging method.Lots of experiments verified that laser lock-in imaging makes the output of the rail wear more stable and adapt to a wide range interference of outside complicated background light.Experimental results show that laser lock-in imaging can guarantee stability of the measurement system,fundamentally eliminating the random measurement errors.
