Automated inspection and detection of foreign objects on railways is important for rail transportation safety as it helps prevent potential accidents and trains derailment. Most existing vision-based approaches focus on the detection of frontal intrusion objects with prior labels, such as categories and locations of the objects. In reality, foreign objects with unknown categories can appear anytime on railway tracks. In this paper, we develop a semi-supervised convolutional autoencoder based framework that only requires railway track images without prior knowledge on the foreign objects in the training process. It consists of three different modules, a bottleneck feature generator as encoder, a photographic image generator as decoder, and a reconstruction discriminator developed via adversarial learning. In the proposed framework, the problem of detecting the presence, location, and shape of foreign objects is addressed by comparing the input and reconstructed images as well as setting thresholds based on reconstruction errors. The proposed method is evaluated through comprehensive studies under different performance criteria. The results show that the proposed method outperforms some well-known benchmarking methods. The proposed framework is useful for data analytics via the train Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems
