AI image recognition for sewer pipes is the most recent evolution in sewer televising.
It wasn’t too long ago that digital sewer televising was the latest and greatest in the Sewer Televising Industry. Digital sewer televising was introduced to the United Stated in around the year 2000.
Prior to Digital Sewer Televising, VHS tapes were the latest and greatest data gathering technology introduced in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s.
Hand written logs and in some cases still camera shots were the norm for sewer televising operators prior to the late 1970’s.
Evolution in the sewer televising industry is inevitable. The more recent evolutionary techniques appear to occur approximately 20 years apart. AI is already accelerating future sewer evolution time lines.
Software developers will create new, exciting and innovative ways to use AI technology for sewer pipeline analysis. Continuing education services teaching defect identification to Sewer Televising Operators will fall by the wayside. Autonomous Sewer televising defect detection, using AI, will make manual sewer defect detection obsolete.
There is already patented Sewer televising defect identification using AI currently available. Embrace this next evolution in AI-driven CCTV sewer inspection.
