Corrosion in steel pipelines is a critical issue in the oil and gas industry. Early corrosion detection can limit the environmental damage and financial impact. To address this challenge, a new method was developed to segment corrosion defects from ultrasonic images representing variations in pipeline thickness. Different neural network architectures including 5-layers CNN, Mini U-Net, Deep U-Net and ResNet50 were evaluated. Among them, the Deep U-Net demonstrated superior performance with a Dice score of 0.845 and an IoU of 0.732 on validation data, with an IoU of 0.6410 using test data, outperforming existing methods. These results show the potential of Deep U-Net for segmenting corrosion in steel pipelines. These improvements may significantly facilitate the pipeline inspection process by reducing the required manual effort.

摘要

Corrosion in steel pipelines is a critical issue in the oil and gas industry. Early corrosion detection can limit the environmental damage and financial impact. To address this challenge, a new method was developed to segment corrosion defects from ultrasonic images representing variations in pipeline thickness. Different neural network architectures including 5-layers CNN, Mini U-Net, Deep U-Net and ResNet50 were evaluated. Among them, the Deep U-Net demonstrated superior performance with a Dice score of 0.845 and an IoU of 0.732 on validation data, with an IoU of 0.6410 using test data, outperforming existing methods. These results show the potential of Deep U-Net for segmenting corrosion in steel pipelines. These improvements may significantly facilitate the pipeline inspection process by reducing the required manual effort.
