Basic structure and work theory are expounded. SIM300 designed by SIMCOM is used for client GPRS communication module. Using Winsock control of visual basic(VB),the client and server communication has been accomplished. By means of a client and server communications software,the remote wireless transmission of vehicle inspection data has been accomplished also. The server management software has been developed by using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and VB6.0. Functions of software include import,inquiry,export and maintenance of test data.展开更多

Both hardware architecture and software architecture are discussed. PC/104 embedded computer is used to control equipment for collecting sensor data and sending control commands. PC/104 embedded computer is integrated with A/D, D/A, 8 serial ports card and power supply unit. The surface computer is a X86PC. They transfer data through a fiber line. For software, real-time OS VxWorks is embedded in PC/104. A/D, D/A and serial ports operation are based on VxWorks OS, which increase the real-time quality of control system. Surface computer is the center of motion control and data processing. It is communicated with underwater PC/104 by socket. The whole system has been tested both on land and in tank.展开更多

The objective is to provide inspectors and professionals with better tools to allow them to examine the imagery for condition assessment. We present initial results of a collaboration with a robotic company through a case study on computer-assisted processing and interpretation of sewer pipeline inspection imagery. In the mean time, the described enhancement and interpretation methodology can also be applied to sewer pipeline condition assessment in an offline mode, where this methodology can support professionals’ examination of acquired sewer condition imagery.展开更多
