  • Patent number: 12211191
    Abstract: An inspection method includes receiving a plurality of training images and an image of a target object obtained from inspection of the target object. The method further includes generating, by one or more training codes, a plurality of inference codes. The one or more training codes are configured to receive the plurality of training images as input and output the plurality of inference codes. The one or more training codes and the plurality of inference codes includes computer executable instructions. The method further includes selecting one or more inference codes from the plurality inference codes based on a user input and/or one or more characteristics of at least a portion of the received plurality of training images. The method also includes inspecting the received image using the one or more inference codes of the plurality of inference codes.

  • Patent number: 11693921
    Abstract: A method of data preparation for artificial intelligence models includes receiving data characterizing a first plurality of images. The method further includes annotating a first subset of images of the first plurality of images based at least in part on a first user input to generate annotated first subset of images. The annotating includes labelling one or more features of the first subset of images. The method also includes generating, by a training code, an annotation code, the training code configured to receive the annotated first subset of images as input and output the annotation code. The training and the annotation code includes computer executable instructions. The method also includes annotating, by the annotation code, a second subset of images of the first plurality of images to generate annotated second subset of images, wherein the annotating includes labelling one or more features of the second subset of images.

  • Patent number: 11480521
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes a communication unit including a first transmitter and a second transmitter. The communication unit is coupled to an on-board computing device including at least one processor coupled to a memory device. The processor is configured to obtain a position of the inspection apparatus, unprocessed image data, and fluid concentration data for at least one fluid. The processor geotags the data with the position of the inspection apparatus and transmits the data to a remote processing device. The geotagged image data is transferred using the first transmitter and the geotagged fluid concentration data is transmitted using the second transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10385657
    Abstract: A well bore robot is configured to travel along an magnetic track element. The magnetic track element includes a plurality of track magnets. The well bore robot includes a robot body and at least one robot magnet. The robot magnet is disposed within the robot body and configured to magnetically and alternatingly engage and disengage with the track magnets. Alternating engagement and disengagement of the robot magnet with the track magnets conveys the well bore robot along the magnetic track element.

  • Patent number: 10345804
    Abstract: A remote processing device for processing inspection data collected by one or more inspection apparatuses includes a communication unit and an on-board computing device coupled to the communication device. The communication unit is configured to transmit data to and receive data from one or more inspection apparatuses. The on-board computing device includes at least one processor and a memory device coupled to the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive geotagged unprocessed image data from the inspection apparatuses over a first communication channel, receive geotagged fluid concentration data from the inspection apparatuses over a second communication channel, process the geotagged unprocessed image data into one or more image files, generate a fluid data map by overlaying the geotagged fluid concentration data over the one or more image files, and transmit the fluid data map to one or more remote computing devices.
