Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Many existing approaches for inspecting pipes are only suited for use on bare pipes-that is, pipes lackinginsulation or other coverings. For example, many sensors require direct contact with the surface of a pipein orde r to detect structural issues and other anomalies of interest. Likewise, many ap proaches rely onthe ability to visually inspect the surface of the pipe itself, such as direct visual inspection by a technicianon-site or the inspection of i magery captured by a camera. Insulation and other coverings may have tobe cut a way or removed in order to perform such inspection approaches, which can be time consuming,dangerous (especially when performed at heights), and cost prohibiti ve. Accordingly, there is a need for away to inspect insulated pipes without da maging or removing the insulation.
