 CRACK LIKE Sample Data

Visual inspection for cracks

• Cracks have low contrast ratios relative to

surrounding material
• POD for 6mm crack with appropriate lighting is
35% (90% confidence)
• POD deteriorates for reduced lighting
• Crack was not detected either by Level 2 NDT VT
Technician or traditional machine vision camera
image analysis

 CRACK LIKE Sample Data

3DSL RHINO inspection for cracks

• Data acquired using the 3DSL

Rhino 200 mounted on a GE
BIKE robot
• Feature extraction (similar to
approach used in “painting”)
• Defect classifier identified crack
• Crack length and width extracted
from 3D data

 COMPARISON

1. The RHINO 3DSL scanner solution is the logical evolution over traditional NDT
techniques for pipeline external corrosion, dent and crack inspection.
2. The latest innovations in 3D scanning provides improved data quality.
3. The inspection speed can be more than 80 times faster than the pit gauge technique
considering the time to setup, perform the inspection, and run the analysis to generate
a report.
4. Repeatable results are ensured by the scanner design and the auto-generated reports
with accuracy.
5. Pit gauge method does not compensate for any flatness, ovality, deformations or crack
like damage affecting the real pipe geometry.

 ROBOTIC INSPECTION with RHINO SYSTEM

 No need for internal scaffolding, blinding of piping, lock & tag out, confined space entry, and associated permitting
 3DSL Rhino is mounted to the GE BIKE robot using a mechanical fixture
 3DSL Rhino and GE BIKE robot are operating using the same ruggedized system controller
 2D wide angle image acquisition and 3D image acquisition and analysis are used to determine the location and impact of
infrastructure damage
 3D LOC feature enables the location of anomalies to be tagged and allows the BIKE to return to a specified location.
 Visual HD Camera and UT Scan
