A new level of accuracy in sewer investigation

摘要

A new system developed in Australia using a combination of robotics, machine vision and artificial intelligence to examine and assess automatically underground sewers is said to be gaining a great deal of interest internationally from water authorities and associated organisations. A joint project with Melbourne Water and the Australian CSIRO establishment, the Pipe Inspection Rapid Assessment Technique (PIRAT) incorporates new technology which is said to provide for a new level of accuracy in sewer investigation.
