Abstract: Robotic platforms have transformed pipe inspection from routine checks into an automatic data-driven process. Such robotic systems often integrate computer vision technology to collect and analyze inspection data in an automated and efficient way and offer additional capabilities such as 3D reconstruction of pipes and precise measurement of deformations (e.g., dents, buckling). This work presents an initial case study of a robotic inspection system equipped with LiDAR and camera sensors capable of performing automatic pipeline inspections. This proof-of-concept study is dedicated to the 3D reconstruction of the pipeline using LiDAR data collected during inspections. Reconstruction accuracy is evaluated by computing the RMSE for pipe surface reconstruction and the deviation from the reference diameter of a single pipe in a controlled laboratory setting. Reconstruction results reach an accuracy higher than 2cm based on computed RMSE and a precision higher than 0.5cm in pipe diameter es timation. The current implementation is limited to the inspection of matte and non-reflective pipes. Still, it offers a straightforward and scalable solution for various industrial sectors. Future work will incorporate camera data to integrate color mapping into the 3D reconstruction model and detect potential defects and deformations in a pipe. (More)
