1. A system for inspecting railway track infrastructure at high speed and high resolution, the system comprising:
a power source; a light emitting apparatus powered by the power source for emitting light energy toward a railway track bed; a data storage apparatus; a first sensor for sensing reflected light that was emitted from the light emitting apparatus and acquiring three dimensional elevation and intensity data of the railway track bed to be stored in the data storage apparatus; a second sensor for sensing reflected light that was emitted from the light emitting apparatus and acquiring three dimensional elevation and intensity data of the railway track bed to be stored in the data storage apparatus; and at least one processor in communication with the data storage apparatus, the first sensor and the second sensor for sequencing the timing of operation for the first sensor and the second sensor in a cascading, repeating manner such that the first sensor is triggered for operation while the second sensor is on standby and wherein the second sensor is triggered for operation while the first sensor is on standby, and wherein data gathered by the first sensor and the second sensor are combined to generate a higher resolution resultant three dimensional elevation and intensity data of the railway track bed than if only a single sensor were used. |
