File Format and Size Requirements
Be aware of file format requirements and size limitations for uploads to ensure a smooth experience. Standard definition, High Definition, 4k and Panoramo files are all compatible with the AI solution. File sizes will effect upload time.
Requirements overview:
Pipe size (OBJ_Size1) must be set
The distance must be either visible in the video (OSD) or there must be a video-time index file (format=txt) from WinCan
There must be an observation with the video attached
Video must be longer than 30 seconds
Managing Inspections and Quality Control
· Once an AI scan is complete, a second inspection will be created leaving the original inspection as is.
· A list of observations will then populate along with all the pertinent information and distances. In the inspection tab, users will find a button containing 3 dots. In that menu is a feature called “inspection Gallery”. This will allow the user to quickly review each image in the inspection that was found by AI, then further investigate the defect. Users can then either click on Add, Modify, or Delete on the observation image. Add: adds image/obs to inspection. Modify: takes user to the editing portal in WinCan Web to make changes to the observation. Delete: deletes the observation entirely from the inspection.
