Liquid Leak Detection Using Thermal Images
This addresses a critical problem for the oil and gas industry by enhancing early leak identification to reduce environmental and financial risks, but it is incremental as it applies existing deep learning methods to this domain.
The paper tackles liquid leak detection in oil and gas infrastructure by using YOLO and RT DETR models on thermal images, resulting in improved accuracy and speed of detection.
This paper presents a comprehensive solution to address the critical challenge of liquid leaks in the oil and gas industry, leveraging advanced computer vision and deep learning methodologies. Employing You Only Look Once (YOLO) and Real-Time Detection Transformer (RT DETR) models, our project focuses on enhancing early identification of liquid leaks in key infrastructure components such as pipelines, pumps, and tanks. Through the integration of surveillance thermal cameras and sensors, the combined YOLO and RT DETR models demonstrate remarkable efficacy in the continuous monitoring and analysis of visual data within oil and gas facilities. YOLO's real-time object detection capabilities swiftly recognize leaks and their patterns, while RT DETR excels in discerning specific leak-related features, particularly in thermal images. This approach significantly improves the accuracy and speed of leak detection, ultimately mitigating environmental and financial risks associated with liquid leaks.
