Obtaining raw data in the field

Panoramo Optiscanner

Panoramic technology captures continuous images of the pipe and operates in both forward and reverse.  Images are captured every two seconds and create a 360 degree view of the entire pipe surface.  Field operators launch the robot, monitor its progress, and collect the robot after it has scanned the desired length of pipe.  Operators do not stop the recording to identify defects as in traditional cctv, therefore reducing the likelihood of operator omission.  All analysis is done offsite in an office environment (see processing). 

Image quality:
6 times resolution of traditional cctv
3,000 lines of resolution
