Preamble
A new generation of pipe inspection cameras allow the operator to record the exact position and the course of a pipeline directly during a standard survey inspection. The camera crawler drives through the pipe and at the same time a built-in geo-sensor is recording the current coordinate position of the camera head in along the path. The corresponding X, Y and Z values then are sent directly to the computer, processed by WinCan VX and drawn by the VX modules WinCan Map und WinCan 3D.
The result of such a measurement finally provides the pipe course of a section with all the left/right deviations and altitude changes as it would look like in reality. It thus completes the classic pipe inspection survey and report.
