Abstract

The huge advantage of in-pipe robots is that they are able to measure from inside the pipes, and to sense the geometry, appearance and radiometry directly. The downside is the inability to know precise, absolute position of the measurements in very long pipe runs. This paper develops the unprecedented localization required for this purpose.
