Abstract: An embodiment provides for storing, in a server, pipe segment data, e.g., pipe scan data derived from a pipe inspection robot that traversed through an interior of the segment of pipe. The pipe scan data may include three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) image data of the interior of the segment of pipe, where the 2D image data includes a flat graph formed from the 3D image data. In one example, infrastructure summary data is stored in the server, including a level of corrosion and a level of sediment buildup determined based on the pipe scan data. An infrastructure project summary report is based on the infrastructure summary data, and after receiving a request from a client device, the pipe segment data and the infrastructure project summary report are transmitted to the client device.

Abstract: An example implementation includes a device that includes a base infrastructure inspection unit and a plurality of modular sensor units attached to the base infrastructure inspection unit. The base infrastructure inspection unit includes a set of one or more processors and a memory device having code executable by the one or more processors. The executable code synchronizes the plurality of sensor units, captures two or more data streams of infrastructure inspection data, combines the data with metadata indicating synchronization between respective ones of the plurality of sensor units, and provides combined metadata and infrastructure inspection data for inclusion in a photorealistic image based on a three-dimensional (3D) model of the infrastructure.
