Abstract: Automated visual inspection of rail surfaces is critical for railway safety but faces challenges such as complex backgrounds, diverse defects, and environmental noise. This paper proposes a fully automated, two-stage framework integrating YOLOv10 and Automated Machine Learning (AutoML). First, YOLOv10 detects and extracts the rail region to eliminate background interference. Second, an AutoML pipeline automatically designs an optimal hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN) for defect classification, combining components from VGG16, MobileNet, and EfficientNetV2. Experimental results demonstrate the framework's high performance, achieving a 99.3% classification accuracy on an independent test set while maintaining a processing speed suitable for real-time applications. This work highlights the efficacy of combining targeted region extraction with AutoML for robust and efficient rail surface defect inspection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
