A natural gas transmission system operator is responsible for weekly pipeline monitoring to ensure that no unauthorized construction over the pipeline occurs. Construction can cause infrastructure damage, so operators must precisely determine the locations of potential hazards in order to react in time. In this case, an operator used a robotic drone sensor to photograph the linear infrastructure. After landing, the images were sent to the cloud-based platform to generate the orthomosaic and automatically detect the desired anomalies. The visualization of the images allowed opertors to detect anomalies.
