This study developed an image processing system for detecting damages on underground spiral PVC pipes. The detection method is simple-identifying damaged areas by measuring circularity along the pipeline. This uses the assumption that damage parts will not make a circular shape. Conventional devices check the circular shape of the pipe along the pipeline by measuring the angles between 6 spring-connected legs on the device. The conventional device, however, requires the insertion of 3 different wires (electrical, communication, and camera lines) along with a guide wire for pulling the device. The developed system presented here has simplified this system, requiring only a camera line while maintaining reasonable accuracy in damage detection.
