A Vision-Based System for Internal Pipeline Inspection [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2019 The internal inspection of large pipeline infrastructures, such as sewers and waterworks, is a fundamental task for the prevention of possible failures. In particular, visual inspection is typically performed by human operators on the basis of video sequences either acquired on-line or recorded for further off-line analysis.

2015 IEEE/OES Acoustics in Underwater Geosciences Symposium (RIO Acoustics), 2015
This paper shows the preliminary perceptions of pipeline inspection with AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) in oil and gas fields. The intent of this new technology is to increase productivity and reduce costs related to facilities inspection. The AUV used is a Kongsberg HUGIN 1000 equiped with Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), Multibeam echosounder ...

1986
A full remotely operated vehicle (ROV) pipeline inspection spread has now become a rather complex production plant with many potentially weak links. The main units of this plant are the ROV with all its sensors/tools, the support vessel, the positioning systems, and the data acquisition and processing systems.

Autonomous system for oil pipelines inspection
Mechatronics, 1998Abstract Maintenance of oil pipelines is an issue of great concern for oil companies. Any possibility of leakage must be detected before the leakage occurs and a preventive action should be taken in order to avoid losses of oil and ecological disasters.

Optimizing inspection routes in pipeline networks
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2020Abstract Maintaining an aging network is a challenge for many water utilities due to limited budgets and uncertainty surrounding the physical condition of buried pipeline assets. The deployment of robotic inspections provides high quality data, but these platforms have limited use due to cost and operational constraints.

Development of an industrial pipeline inspection robot
Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2010PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe design and development of a pole climbing robot (PCR) for inspection of industrial size pipelines. Nowadays, non‐destructive testing (NDT) methods are performed by dextrous technicians across high‐level pipes, frequently carrying dangerous chemicals.

Pipelined parallelisation of automatic face inspection
Machine Vision and Applications, 2000A parallel pipeline is shown to be a natural method of speeding up a typical computer vision application, face inspection using `eigenfaces'. Faces within a stream of video images are continuously surveyed in a manner akin to a `conveyor belt' inspection process. The parallelisation is a new exemplar of a scheme for the rapid prototyping of large-scale,

A conical mirror pipeline inspection system
Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002Presents a novel system that provides high quality imaging of the interior surface of pipelines. The imaging device uses a refined conical mirror micro-surface machined from aluminum to image a 360/spl deg/ strip of the pipe in a single frame. A continuous stream of such images is transmitted to the surface where it is stored on a standard video ...
