There are many types of pipelines, mainly used to transport gas and fluid media. For some pipelines buried underground, they are covered by soil and are less affected by the external environment. However, some pipelines that are exposed to the outside for a long time are more prone to damage due to environmental influences such as wind, sun, rain, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently detect defects in these pipelines and maintain them.

[0003] The traditional pipeline defect detection method is mainly through manual inspection, that is, manual inspection along the extension direction of the pipeline to detect whether the outer wall of the pipeline is damaged or has other defects. However, this detection method has high work intensity and serious damage to human vision. In addition, manual observation can only detect more obvious cracks or defective parts. The detection of small cracks or defects is not accurate enough, and the manual inspection efficiency is low, which is easy to miss. Therefore, a defect detection device based on machine vision is proposed to detect the pipeline through light to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
