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: One aspect provides a method, including: operating a mobile pipe inspection platform to obtain sensor data for the interior of a pipe; analyzing, using a processor, the sensor data using a trained model, where the trained model is trained using a dataset including sensor data of pipe interiors and one or more of: metadata identifying pipe feature locations contained within the sensor data of the dataset and metadata classifying pipe features contained within the sensor data of the dataset; performing one or more of: identifying, using a processor, a pipe feature location within the sensor data; and classifying, using a processor, a pipe feature of the sensor data; and thereafter producing, using a processor, an output including one or more of an indication of the identifying and an indication of the classifying. Other aspects are described and claimed.

摘要: An embodiment provides for storing, in a server, pipe segment data, e.g., pipe scan data derived from a pipe inspection robot that traversed through an interior of the segment of pipe. The pipe scan data may include three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) image data of the interior of the segment of pipe, where the 2D image data includes a flat graph formed from the 3D image data. In one example, infrastructure summary data is stored in the server, including a level of corrosion and a level of sediment buildup determined based on the pipe scan data. An infrastructure project summary report is based on the infrastructure summary data, and after receiving a request from a client device, the pipe segment data and the infrastructure project summary report are transmitted to the client device.

摘要: One embodiment provides a method for identifying a target object of a pipe wall, including: positioning a pipe inspection robot within a pipe; emitting, using a terahertz (THz) beam source of the pipe inspection robot, a laser beam towards a target object; receiving, using a THz receiver of the pipe inspection robot, THz data related to the target object; analyzing, using a processor, the THz data; and determining, based on the analyzing, an identity of the object. Other aspects are described and claimed.
