Abstract: A method and system for locating a branch conduit opening into a main pipe following lining the main pipe with a liner includes moving a robot down the lined main pipe and scanning the liner using an infrared scanner mounted on the robot. A temperature drop outside the liner as compared to the adjacent surfaces to acquire infrared data is sensed with an infrared scanner. The infrared data is compared with other location data regarding the branch conduit opening and a branch conduit opening location outside of the liner is determined based on the infrared data and the other data. In another aspect, the infrared scanner is tuned to more particularly sense temperatures associated with the presence of a branch conduit opening.

Abstract: A method and system for reestablishing fluid communication between a main pipe and a branch conduit includes moving a robot down the lined main pipe. Visual images of the liner in the main pipe are transmitted from a camera associated with the robot to a monitor outside of the main pipe for viewing by a human operator. An interior view of the lined main pipe from the transmitted visual images is displayed on the monitor. An image representing the location of the branch conduit opening is superimposed on the monitor so that the image appears on the monitor to be located on the liner as shown in the interior view.

Abstract: An image may be received from a sensor associated with a capture area. Background elements associated with the capture area may be removed and a cleaned image generated. Objects may then be detected in this cleaned image. A spatial partition model may be generated to understand z-index and partially obscured areas while preserving relative object sizes. This model may be used to determine and remove foreground elements that may obstruct objects of interest. Object detection may be performed again on the further cleaned image. Detected objects may be filtered based on predefined criteria for different object classes.

Abstract: An adaptive object recognition system utilizes relevance-based weighting and scoring that may assist with accuracy and stability. The system receives multiple recognition results for objects across video frames. Weights are assigned to results based on their stability over frames and the relevance scoring of neighboring areas. This allows more confidence to be placed in consistent detections and clearer image regions. The system decouples high and low accuracy areas to apply appropriate thresholding. Temporal analysis is used to favor frequently detected objects. Weighted results are combined to generate final recognitions that are more robust to non-uniform image quality and noise.

Determining that all bundles of state exported from the first protected VM prior to export of the marker have been imported to the second protected VM. Starting an out-of-order phase of the migration based on the determination that said all bundles of the state exported have been imported.
