We demonstrate the operation of the system for commercial leak detection in upstream natural gas pipeline networks.doi:10.1139/juvs-2017-0018Barchyn, ThomasHugenholtz, Chris H.Myshak, StephenBauer, JimJournal of Unmanned Vehicle SystemsT. E. Barchyn, C. H. Hugenholtz, S. Myshak, and J. ...
UAV hyperspectral remote sensing can allow wide-range detection of surface vegetation. Moreover, underground pipeline distribution GIS data can provide prior knowledge about leakage points to exclude misidentifications. Therefore, a natural gas pipeline micro-leakage experiment was set up. UAV ...
UAVs can sense changes in the pipeline and find defects within a certain distance of the pipe. The cell dimensions are smaller or equal to the UAV’s detection range. The battery swapping time is neglected [2]. Variables of the proposed model: 𝑈U—total number of UAVs; 𝑢u—index of...
