Method of determining an edge of a first anomaly in a wall of a pipeline from a first set of data elements representing measurements of the wall of the pipeline. An element of the first set comprises a first coordinate, a second coordinate, and a parameter being indicative for the presence and/or severity of the first anomaly a position along the wall indicated by the first and second coordinate. The method comprises determining a data element that is associated with a maximum in the severity of the first anomaly; evaluating a value of the parameter by comparing with a predetermined threshold; determining an initial edge data element for which the parameter has reached the threshold; determining a next edge data element; determining further edge data elements; and determining the edge of the first anomaly by combining the first and second coordinates of the determined edge data elements.
Method of determining a boundary of a first anomaly in a wall of a pipeline from a first set of data elements of the wall of the pipeline, an element of the first set comprising a first coordinate along a first direction along the wall, a second coordinate along a second direction along the wall that is different from the first direction, and a parameter indicative of a depth of the first anomaly, at a position along the wall indicated by the first and second coordinate, the method comprising the steps:
Method of determining whether a first anomaly and a second anomaly in a wall of a pipeline interact, based on boundaries of the first and second anomaly that are determined from a first set of measured data elements of the wall of the pipeline, the boundaries enclosing anomaly data elements associated with the first or second anomaly, the method comprising the steps:
Method of aligning a first set of measured data elements with a second set of measured data elements of a wall of the pipeline, wherein at least a part of the first set of measured data elements and at least a part of the second set of measured data elements are acquired from one and the same portion of the wall of the pipeline, wherein boundaries of anomalies are provided that are determined from the first and second set of measured data elements, the boundaries enclosing anomaly data elements, the method comprising the steps:
