Development of a pipe location system
Abstract
A portable system capable of making an image of buried structures, such as pipe, and displaying it in real time in an isometric format was investigated. Linear impulse holography was developed to convert either acoustic or radar time-of-flight data into such an image containing all information required to accurately locate the pipe.
