Method and system for testing a bundle of tubular objects guided by a computing device

摘要

Exemplary embodiments of method and system for guiding a tester of a bundle of similar objects are disclosed. The disclosed embodiments may obtain a picture of the bundle of the similar objects. The image may be processed in order to identify the bundle of similar objects to be tested. Then, the system may determine which object of the similar objects to measure and accordingly it may instruct a tester to associate an object-measuring device with the determined object to be measured. Upon receiving a trigger signal issued by the tester, information is collected regarding the test results of the measured object and information on the location of the measured object. Then the process can proceed for additional objects in the bundle.

主权项

1. A system that guides a tester while measuring a plurality of similar pipes that are bundled together, comprising:
a pipe-measuring device; a location measuring system associated with the pipe-measuring device and is configured to deliver location information about the location in the bundle of a pipe that is currently measured by the pipe-measuring device; a computing-assistance device (CAD) that is configured to:
obtain information on a front of a plurality of similar pipes that are bundled together;obtain location information from the location measuring system about the location of the front of the pipe that is currently measured within the front of the bundle of similar pipes; andobtain measurements signals from the pipe-measuring device, wherein the measurements signals reflect the condition of the pipe that is currently measured; and wherein the location information of the pipe that is currently measured is related to the front of the plurality of similar pipes.
