Water Pipeline Graduation Project

The ROSEN water pipeline inspection tool is used in several types of water pipelines and gathers data with the help of several sensor systems such as a camera, ultrasonic, hydrophonic and internally developed sensors. Inside the water pipelines, there can be images with several types of situations (for instance joints, valves, defects etc.) found which are different from the more normal images as found within the pipeline. Accurately selecting these specific objects and reporting them for further evaluation is one of the most important tasks for a better, consistent inspection method with less effort.

This project is aiming to design an algorithmic object detection tool, which finds all unusual situations within a pipeline. A dynamic system is foreseen which responses also to changes in the main system; that means automatically redefining the ‘usual/unusual’ discrimination method from pipeline to pipeline or even in several sections of one single pipeline. The main considered approach here is to use video processing so using the camera; but if needed we can also benefit from the other sensors as well. More specifically, the recommended topics to be covered are as below:

• Designing a model to detect/segment objects seen by the camera in the pipeline
• Investigating the usability and if helpful actually using of other different sensors which are helpful for detection
• Classification of the found objects having known patterns
