Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed elemental technologies for realizing a cost-effective fast video inspection system for underground sewer systems with multiple drifting nodes. We measured wireless communication characteristics in a underground 200mm-diameter pipe and confirmed that IEEE802.11a using 5GHz radio band achieves a longer communication distance (8m at 10mW/Hz) than other radio systems using 2.4GHz and 920MHz bands. We designed data transfer protocols for reliably retrieving video data from drifting camera nodes. One protocol is for uses multi-hop communication from a camera node to an access point via multiple relay nodes and another is for multiple cooperative camera nodes. We also designed drifting camera nodes and a video processing method for compensating the rotation of a camera in a drifting node, and confirmed the effectiveness of them.
