The non-destructive inspection (NDI) of water pipeline is essential to the maintenance and management of water infrastructure. The PipeDiver is a condition assessment technology developed by Pure Technologies for in-service inspection without disrupting the water pipe operation. The PipeDiver is a free-swim robotic system, which can integrate multiple NDI techniques on the platform, for a high-quality inspection. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection and ultrasonic inspection are two available techniques for the PipeDiver-based inspection. This research project is to develop algorithms to process and analyze the CCTV and ultrasonic inspection data. The video data analytics will address the challenges of underwater image enhancement, key frame (with anomaly) detection, and obstacle identification. The multi-sensor data fusion will use the data from CCTV, ultrasound, and inertial measurement unit to facilitate the navigation of the PipeDiver through implementing the simultaneous localization and mapping. The outcomes of the research will be integrated into the PipeDiver platform to serve the Canadian water industry for a better quality of life.

给水管道的无损检测是给水管道维护管理的重要内容， 水基础设施。PipeDiver是由Pure Technologies开发的一种状态评估技术， 在不中断水管运行的情况下进行运行中的检查。PipeDiver是一个自由游动的机器人系统， 其可在平台上集成多种NDI技术，以实现高质量的检测。闭路 电视（CCTV）检测和超声波检测是基于PipeDiver的两种可用技术， 检查 本研究计画旨在开发演算法以处理及分析闭路电视及超音波检测资料。 视频数据分析将解决水下图像增强、关键帧（ 异常）检测和障碍物识别。多传感器数据融合将使用来自CCTV的数据， 超声波和惯性测量单元，以便于通过实施PipeDiver的导航 同步定位和地图绘制。研究结果将被整合到PipeDiver中 平台，为加拿大水务行业提供更好的生活质量。
