Abstract
A system for analyzing linear data is provided. The system comprises a datastore of linear data correlated by distance; a library of functions that may be performed on the linear data; computer executable code stored on a computer readable medium for performing an analysis of the sets of linear data based on the functions in the library.
Claims23
A method for analyzing linear data, comprising:
- receiving a first user defined function defining a mathematic analysis;
- receiving a plurality of sets of linear data having a length component and that represents a linear asset;
- providing at least two of the sets of linear data as input to the function;
- performing the mathematic analysis on the at least two sets of linear data representing the linear asset based on the function with a computer to obtain a third set of data;
- and
- outputting information regarding a condition and configuration of the linear asset based on the third set of data.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- collecting data, including linear data having a length component, that represents a linear asset, the data having different formats;
- converting the data into a common format having a length component and a time component to obtain converted data representing the linear asset;
- providing the converted data representing the linear asset as input to a functional analysis;
- combining the converted data representing the linear asset with a computer based on the functional analysis to determine a result;
- providing information regarding a condition and configuration of the linear asset based on the result;
- and
- controlling operations performed on the linear asset based on the condition and configuration information.
4 more elements
A system for analyzing linear data, comprising:
- a datastore storing sets of linear data having a same format and correlated as to distance and time, the linear data representing a linear asset;
- a library of functions that may be performed on the linear data representing the linear asset;
- computer executable code stored on a computer readable medium for performing an analysis combining the sets of linear data based on the functions in the library to provide a result indicating areas of the linear asset requiring operations;
- and
- a display displaying the linear data and indicating areas of the linear asset requiring operations based on the result.
2 more elements
A method of performing operations on linear data, comprising:
- providing a library of functions adapted to be performed on linear data having a length component and that represents a linear asset;
- receiving selected ones of the functions;
- creating an analysis to be performed on the linear data based on the selected functions;
- and executing the selected functions on the linear data representing the linear asset to transform the linear data into a third set of data;
- and
- outputting information regarding a condition and configuration of the linear asset based on the third set of data.
