3D-OLE: Three-Dimensional Optical Pipeline Inspection

Identifying structural damage in confined spaces with restricted access, such as gas pipelines, poses a significant challenge. This work proposes a concept, that can tackle the challenges by using a visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAM) system consisting of a various combined sensors on a 3D printed platform. The integration of multiple sensors results in an accurate trajectory and mapping solution. Damage detection can be then achieved by Machine Learning (ML) algorithms trained on extracted point clouds.
