Abstract
One aspect provides a method, including: operating a mobile pipe inspection platform to obtain sensor data for the interior of a pipe; analyzing, using a processor, the sensor data using a trained model, where the trained model is trained using a dataset including sensor data of pipe interiors and one or more of: metadata identifying pipe feature locations contained within the sensor data of the dataset and metadata classifying pipe features contained within the sensor data of the dataset; performing one or more of: identifying, using a processor, a pipe feature location within the sensor data; and classifying, using a processor, a pipe feature of the sensor data; and thereafter producing, using a processor, an output including one or more of an indication of the identifying and an indication of the classifying. Other aspects are described and claimed.
