Abstract: Condition monitoring of storm-water pipe systems are carried-out regularly using semi-automated processors. Semi-automated inspection is time consuming, expensive and produces varying and relatively unreliable results due to operators fatigue and novicity. This paper propose an innovative method to automate the storm-water pipe inspection and condition assessment process which employs a computer vision algorithm based on deep-neural network architecture to classify the defect types automatically. With the proposed method, the operator only needs to guide the robot through each pipe and no longer needs to be an expert. The results obtained on a CCTV video dataset of storm-water pipes shows that the deep neural network architectures trained with data augmentation and transfer learning is capable of achieving high accuracies in identifying the defect types.
