Railways are the important means of transport. Crack in the railway tracks are one of the means through which the railway accidents takes place where lot of people lose their precious lives. What if there is an application that can help in detecting the fault in the railway track without any difficulty? Yes, it is possible through the use of railway track fault detection project. Sometimes minor cracks cannot be detected by the humans. So through the use of this project the cracks can be found out very quickly without any difficulty. Even very minor cracks in the railway tracks which are not recognizable by the human eyes can be found with accuracy.

This will be one of the unique projects that the final year students can work on and implement in real time world. This application will work on image formats with great ease. For accuracy in detecting the cracks some preprocessing techniques will be used with great ease.  All the undesirable noise will be removed in the preprocessing steps without any difficulty. Accuracy is the main aim of this application in order to detect the cracks. This will be one of the interesting applications that one can work on and implement in real time world with great ease. The cracks in the railway tracks can be found out through the image processing technology. The features that can be included in the railway track fault detection project are as follows:

• Reduce human labor: This project can help in reducing the human labor with great ease.
• Efficient: This project can help in finding the defects in the railway tracks efficiently with great ease.
• Saves time: This application can help in saving the time since the humans need not personally find for the defects.
• Minor cracks: This application can help in finding even the minor cracks in railway tracks without any difficulty.
