Abstract
A cloud server has memory for storing computer readable instructions and a processor for executing the computer readable instruction. A pipe inspection video is received for storage in a video storage container. A plurality of frames is extracted from the pipe inspection video. A plurality of receiver containers is formed to perform artificial intelligence operations the plurality of frames in parallel. The plurality of frames is sent to the plurality of receiver containers to obtain metrics relating to the pipe inspection video. The plurality of frames is returned to the video storage container. The plurality of frames is compiled into a processed pipe inspection video.
Claims18
A pipe inspection video processing system for processing a raw pipe inspection video, the system comprising:
- a cloud server having memory for storing computer readable instructions, and a processor for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions including instructions for:
- receiving the raw pipe inspection video for storage in a video storage container;
- extracting a plurality of frames from the raw pipe inspection video;
- forming a plurality of receiver containers to perform artificial intelligence operations on the plurality of frames in parallel;
- sending the plurality of frames to the plurality of receiver containers to obtain metrics relating to the raw pipe inspection video;
- returning the plurality of frames to the video storage container;
- compiling the plurality of frames into a processed pipe inspection video;
- automatically identifying roots, damage, and debris within the processed pipe inspection video when at least one of images of roots, damage, and debris are present in the processed pipe inspection video;
- calculating a plurality of scores with each of the plurality of scores being based upon the presence of each image of a root, an indication of damage, and an indication of debris within a pipe when at least one image of a root, a damage indicator, and a debris indicator are present in the processed pipe inspection video;
- and
- activating a decision support platform residing on the cloud server when at least one image of a root, a damage indicator, and a debris indicator are present in the processed pipe inspection video, so that the decision support platform create at least one of a prioritization list and a work plan;
- wherein the decision support platform sorts the scores when multiple scores are calculated to create the at least one of a prioritization list and a work plan.
