    摘要: An embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining, from a multi-sensor pipe inspection robot that traverses through the interior of a pipe, two or more sets of condition assessment data for the interior of the pipe collected during a single pass through the interior of the pipe; the two or more sets of condition assessment data comprising a first data type obtained using a first sensor type and a second data type obtained using a second sensor type; combining, using a processor, two or more image processing techniques to adjust imaging of a pipe feature; and forming, using the processor, an image of the interior of the pipe using the two or more image processing techniques. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Described is a method of providing an augmented reality (AR) scene of pipe inspection data, including: obtaining, using a processor, pipe inspection data derived from a pipe inspection robot that traverses through the interior of an underground pipe, the pipe inspection data including one or more sets of condition assessment data relating to an interior of the underground pipe; obtaining, using a processor, real-time visual image data of an above-ground surface; combining, using a processor, the pipe inspection data with the real-time visual image data in an AR scene; and displaying, using a display device, the AR scene. Other examples are described and claimed.
