DigiSewer in Action DigiSewer converts an analog video signal into a digital scan for higher-resolution screen presentation than conventional CCTV.
DigiSewer: Similarities to CCTV • Same equipment, similar workflow • No special setup, deployment or operation • Data easily integrates with inspection reporting software, asset databases • Same steerability and crawler performance as conventional CCTV. • Inspection results available immediately.
DigiSewer: Advantages Over CCTV • DigiSewer is faster than conventional CCTV (70 fpm vs 30) • DigiSewer uses digital storage more efficiently (16,000 ft on a single DVD) • No stopping or panning/tilting for defects • Accurate and detailed annotation • Lower cost of ownership • Consumes less digital capacity/bandwidth for archiving and sharing
System Components: Crawler A versatile platform: • Steerable • Multi-function: perform traditional pan/tilt inspection and DSS interchangeably • Low-maintenance
System Components: Camera • DigiSewer’s wide-angle lens and LED light array allow 3 levels of illumination intensity. • Camera captures evenly lit cross-sectional images in pipes of varying diameter (6-60”).
System Component: Computer • The CPU digitally unwraps cross-sectional images and stitches them together into one long scan whose height corresponds to pipe diameter, and whose length corresponds to the length of the pipe.
System Component: Software • Ability to view Scan Data in three different views: Sidescan View, Front View and Thumbnail View.
System Components: Software • Accurate location and measurement using 2D and 3D measurement
System Components: Software • Zoom and measure from 50-150%. (Scan captured at 70 fpm.)
System Components: Software • Quick review using software • Defects highlighted can be seen on the thumbnail view.
System Components: Software: • Color-coded to highlight PACP classification of observations in thumbnail view. • Yellow: Construction • Red: Structural • Green: Operational/Maintence • White: Misc.
System Components: Software • On-Screen Inclination is captured during scan
System Components: Software • Automatic recognition of joints and taps
System Components: Software • WinCan v8 exports projects to freeware WinCan viewer for a quick yet detailed analysis. • No installation of software is needed, simply insert DVD or flash drive into any PC. • Export data in WRC, PACP and ASCII formats.
Data Integration DigiSewer data easily integrates with the following GIS/work order software: • Arc View • GBA • Hanzen • Maximo • Citiworks/Azteca
Future of Digisewer • Digisewer with Manhole Inspections.
