Automated Pipeline Diagnostics Using Image Processing and Intelligent System

Due to many drawbacks such as human error, tremendous energy and time consumption in traditional method of pipeline inspection, this paper proposes an automated pipeline diagnostic using image processing and intelligent system. The primary focus of the developed system is underwater pipeline network...
