Rapid detection of sewer defects and blockages using acoustic-based instrumentation.
Sewer flooding incidents in the UK are being increasingly associated with the presence of blockages. Blockages are difficult to deal with as although there are locations where they are more likely to occur, they do occur intermittently. In order to manage sewer blockage pro-actively sewer managers need to be able to identify the location of blockages promptly. Traditional closed-circuit televis...
متن کاملApplication of Morphological Segmentation to Leaking Defect Detection in Sewer Pipelines
As one of major underground pipelines, sewerage is an important infrastructure in any modern city. The most common problem occurring in sewerage is leaking, whose position and failure level is typically identified through closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection in order to facilitate rehabilitation process. This paper proposes a novel method of computer vision, morphological segmentation ba...
متن کاملCCTV inspection of sewer segments: calibration of performance indicators based on experts’ opinions
Asset management is an increasing concern for wastewater utilities and companies. Indicators are developed for supporting the definition of investigation and rehabilitation programs. These indicators are mostly based on visual inspections, which provide major information. However, difficulty remains in the translation of a visual inspection survey into dysfunction indicators. Condition grade of...
متن کاملFeature Extraction of Sewer Pipe Defects Using Wavelet Transform and Co-Occurrence Matrix
In general, the sewer inspection usually employs a great number of CCTV images to discover sewer failures by human interpretation. A computer-aided program remains to be developed due to human’s fatigue and subjectivity. To enhance the efficiency of sewer inspection, this paper attends to apply artificial intelligence to extract the failure features of the sewer systems that is demonstrated on ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Acoustic Emission Inspection of Oil Tank Floor via Tank Bottom Plates Thickness Measurement
This paper deals with an inspection of defects including corrosion and leakage by Acoustic Emission (AE) in an oil tank floor. In contrast to intrusive methods such as magnetic flux leakage, eddy current or ultrasonic, there is no need to emptying and entering the tank in AE method in order to inspection. In this research AE investigation and AE source location is presented in detail. The resul...
