Claim 0:
1. A method of detecting railroad track misalignment, comprising:
receiving, via a first imaging sensor coupled to a rail vehicle, a first rail view of a first section of a first rail;
generating first imaging data related to the first rail via the first imaging sensor;
receiving, via a second imaging sensor coupled to the rail vehicle, a second rail view of a second section of the first rail;
generating second imaging data related to the first rail via the second imaging sensor; and
comparing, via an edge processor, the first and second imaging data to determine whether any differences between the first and the second data exceed an adaptive anomaly threshold to detect misalignments of a railroad track.
