Abstract:

In order to improve the detection accuracy of submarine pipeline defects and components and to realize intelligent submarine pipeline safety detection, a Faster R-CNN-based intelligent detection method for submarine pipelines was proposed. Firstly, the key features of the signals were enhanced by converting the signals into a pseudo-color map through basis value correction and segmentation mapping-pseudo-colorization methods. Secondly, the generalization capability of the detection model was improved based on multimodal data enhancement. Then, the improved Faster R-CNN network was trained based on the samples after multimodal data enhancement to establish the optimal intelligent detection model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by using the test site and the Bohai Sea in service as examples. The results show that the average detection accuracy of the proposed method can reach 93.8%, which is 8% better than the original Faster R-CNN algorithm, and the average intersection over union reaches 0.75, which can accurately achieve the multi-target detection of submarine oil and gas pipelines and ensure the safe operation of submarine pipelines.
