Abstract: Embodiments of video inspection systems with moveably dockable camera control units (CCUs) which may include a display are disclosed. In one embodiment, a video inspection system includes two frame elements which each have a handle. The frame elements may be moved into multiple positions and orientations relative to each other and provide a secure stand for a CCU. The CCU may be attached and detached from the frame elements. The handles may be used to carry the frame elements with or without the CCU attached. The handles may be slip resistant to provide a stable support for a CCU when the frame elements are positioned on a surface. Docking apparatus are provided to allow a CCU, tablet, pad, laptop, or smartphone to be attached to the frame elements and put in a variety of positions or orientations to make viewing convenient for a user.

Abstract: Location systems and methods for locating paint and other markings on a surface are disclosed. A paint marking stick may include a magnetic field sonde that is actuated in conjunction with dispensing of paint or other markers, where the sonde generates a magnetic field signal in conjunction with dispensing of paint or placement of a marker. A corresponding utility locator may receive the sonde magnetic field dipole signal and determine and store positional information and type information associated with the paint or other marker.

Abstract: Systems and methods for annotating, also known as tagging, visually identifiable objects using natural language (i.e. spoken voice) are provided. More specifically, but not exclusively, this disclosure relates to systems and methods for tagging identified objects related to underground utilities and assets, and communication systems. Once tagged, data representing identified objects can be stored, transmitted, and/or mapped. In an exemplary embodiment, a utility service worker or other personnel may walk or drive around an area of interest using utility locating equipment or systems to collect data. As data is being collected, the user may visually identify utility related or other items using a laser pointer, and then use their voice to tag items of interest. A headset including a microphone may be provided for capturing the user's voice. Hardware and/or software may be provided for processing tagged items, and relating them to a specific location, and/or utility asset.
