The use of deep neural networks is currently one of the most popular approaches to creating automated systems. Convolutional neural networks are used in image classification problems. Automation of monitoring the condition of the railway track is necessary for the smooth movement of transport, therefore, the solution of the problem of detecting defects using neural networks is relevant. The article defines the optimal architecture of the neural network for the search for fishplates, consisting of seven layers. The influence of the size of the submitted images and the number of Convolution – ReLU – Max Pooling layers on the image processing speed and classification errors is considered.
