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.

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 ...

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.

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,

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.

Digital Twin Technology for Pipeline Inspection
2020In this paper, authors investigated the market of cyber-physical systems for pipeline diagnostics, revealed the features of the external environment of operation of these systems, which has a significant impact on the components of the system. Development prospects are assessed, the pros and cons of existing solutions are highlighted, and its ...

A robot for offshore pipeline inspection
2010 9th IEEE/IAS International Conference on Industry Applications - INDUSCON 2010, 2010The robot presented in this paper was designed to find damages to the external sheath of offshore pipelines. The pipeline section subject to inspection is known as “riser” and connects the pipe running on the seabed to the production facility at the platform or “floating production, storage and offloading” ship (FPSO).

Pipeline Inspections: An Overview
1986The number of submarine pipelines in the North Sea continues to grow and with it comes the need to monitor and service such systems. In most areas of the North Sea, pipeline inspections are required annually by government inspectorates. These twelve-monthly inspections must be capable of detennining, as far as reasonably practical, the following:

On-Line Inspection of Offshore Pipelines
Proceedings of Middle East Oil Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1985Abstract Pipeline networks worldwide, which can be measured Pipeline networks worldwide, which can be measured in hundreds of thousands of kilometres, represent major capital assets with enormous revenue-earning capacity and as such often figure significantly in a country's economy.
