Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pipeline detection, and in particular to an intelligent detection and evaluation method and system for underground pipeline defects. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the aging of infrastructure, underground pipelines, as the carriers of key resources such as urban water, electricity, gas and communications, are directly related to the normal operation of the city. However, underground pipelines that have been in operation for a long time are easily affected by factors such as the external environment, material aging, corrosion, and accumulation of sediments in the pipes, resulting in defects such as cracks, corrosion, blockage, deformation and even rupture. These problems may not only lead to economic losses such as waste of resources and road collapse, but also threaten the safety and stability of the city. Traditional pipeline inspection methods mostly rely on manual visual inspection and simple tool testing, which are not only inefficient and have limited effects, but are also easily interfered by human factors, resulting in missed detection or misjudgment of defects. Summary of the invention

[0005] Furthermore, multimodal data includes: image data of the inside of the pipeline obtained by a high-definition camera; three-dimensional point cloud data of the inside of the pipeline constructed by a lidar; depth detection signals for pipe wall thickness detection or potential defect detection obtained by an ultrasonic sensor; humidity and temperature obtained by an environmental sensor; and positioning information of the inspection robot recorded by an IMU and an odometer.
[0006] Further, preprocessing is as follows: S21: Remove duplicate, ambiguous or redundant sampling data from multimodal data; S22: Process different types of data separately, including: Image data, use Gaussian filtering to eliminate image noise, enhance pipeline feature details, apply histogram equalization to improve image contrast, and use the camera calibration matrix to eliminate image distortion caused by high-definition cameras; For point cloud data, use the neighborhood filtering method to remove invalid point cloud noise and fill in the missing parts through edge fitting or interpolation; The deep detection signal is de-noised using a Butterworth low-pass filter, and the envelope signal is extracted using the Hilbert transform to capture the waveform anomaly caused by the defect; Humidity and temperature data obtained by environmental sensors, using time series interpolation to fill in missing data and normalize different environmental parameters; S23: Align the multimodal data after being processed separately in time and space to unify the multimodal data format.
[0007] Furthermore, the image recognition algorithm based on convolutional neural network adopts the Mask R-CNN target detection framework, including convolutional feature extraction network, region proposal network, ROI alignment and detection network: The convolutional feature extraction network uses convolutional layers to extract features from images.

According to the fitting result, it is judged whether the section deviates from the ideal shape. The deviation formula is: ; Among them, r ideal is the pipe cross section, r actual is the radius of the fitting section. If d exceeds the set threshold (e.g. d>0.05), it is determined to be a deformation area; Mark the area where the pipeline is deformed, give the deformation type, and output the deformation deviation d.
[0010] Further, ultrasonic signal defect detection based on Fourier transform and time-frequency analysis is as follows: For the collected ultrasonic or sonar signal x(t), the signal spectrum characteristics are extracted by fast Fourier transform: ; Where X(f) is the frequency domain signal; is an imaginary unit; f and t represent frequency and time respectively; Analyze the peak position of the echo signal.
