AI image analysis technologies for water pipeline inspection

Controls variance in evaluation standards and reduces workload.


  • In-pipe camera inspection that can confirm deterioration of aging water pipelines enable increased efficiency and accuracy by combining AI technologies. 
  • This technology detects aging locations (e.g., rust or sediment) in water pipelines, and judges the state of degradation of water pipelines.
  • Using software that displays the images taken on-site and the AI image analysis results side-by-side, it increases the efficiency of inspection and report creation.

Applications



  • Deterioration inspection inside water pipelines
  • Applications in other in-pipe image inspection

Benchmarks, strengths, and track record



  • Detection algorithms for appropriately switching detection targets in keeping with camera movement.
  • Algorithms for determining state of degradation based on guidelines stipulated by the Japan Water Endoscope Camera Association.
  • Currently proposing feasibility studies using on-site data.
