This master’s thesis deals with the segmentation and classification of railway vehicles from a side view. The main motivation is to replace traditional trackside hardware components with advanced computer vision methods applied to image data from a line-scan camera. For development purposes, a custom balanced image dataset was created, containing 6,702 vehicle images divided into 70 classes. In the task of segmenting a moving train into individual wagons, classical algorithms were compared with the YOLOX neural network, which achieved an accuracy of 98.02 %. The subsequent vehicle classification without the use of OCR compared the classical Bag of Visual Words method with the YOLOX and DINOv3 deep learning models. All methods demonstrated a high success rate, with the state-of-the-art DINOv3 model achieving the best results with a classification accuracy of 99.29 %. The obtained results clearly prove that the proposed solution represents a highly reliable and cost-effective alternative to existing hardware diagnostic systems in railways.
