Manual Measurements- Precise measurements can be taken from a single frame captured from the prerecorded or live video. This includes pipe size verification, size of laterals, water levels, holes, and off-set joints. This captured frame, with its measurement data, can then be stored as a JPEG or BMP file. Manual measurements can be performed on the captured digital profile to an accuracy of 1mm*
Automated Analysis- The software uses machine vision. Machine vision is used to find the video image of the laser profile (red laser line). Each frame of the inspection video is analyzed to build a digital profile of the pipe. From this profile, the Profiler built-in functions display the following:
• Ovality- The Ovality function calculates the "q" (as per ASTM F 1216, the internationally recognized standard for CIPP rehabilitation)
• Capacity- The Capacity (X-sectional Area) function calculates the cross-sectional area for each profile and normalizes the results against the expected internal pipe area.
• Interfaces- with CUES software
• Delta- The Delta calculation finds the maximum and minimum pipe radius for each profile.
3D Modeling- Using the digital profile, the Laser Profiler creates a fully interactive 3D model of the pipe. This allows the user to navigate through the selected pipe within its local environment, thereby providing a new perspective to traditional CCTV inspections.
