Title: A DATA FUSION SYSTEM FOR THE NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF NON-PIGGABLE PIPES

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/840802· OSTI ID:840802

The objectives of this research project are: (1) To design sensor data fusion algorithms that can synergistically combine defect related information from heterogeneous sensors used in gas pipeline inspection for reliably and accurately predicting the condition of the pipe-wall; and (2) To develop efficient data management techniques for signals obtained during multisensor interrogation of a gas pipeline. During this reporting period, Rowan University designed, developed and exercised algorithms for the effective management of data resulting from multi-sensor interrogation of gas transmission pipelines. Specifically, advanced visualization techniques were employed for immersive, interactive and navigable data representations.
