Airborne oil leak and right-of-way threat detection
Detects oil leaks and threats for pipelines aerially
Flyscan has developed an airborne detection system to identify potential threats to pipelines and surrounding areas during aerial surveillance. The system uses a patented ultraviolet laser to detect the presence of oil leaks by exciting hydrocarbons which then fluoresce at characteristic wavelengths. This allows detection of even small leaks that may be missed by the human eye. Custom cameras and sensors are used to collect optical, thermal, and hyperspectral imagery which can detect changes in vegetation, soil erosion, missing pipeline markers, vehicle intrusions, and other anomalies. Advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence process the multiple data streams in real time during flight to identify areas of interest. The system outputs geo-referenced alerts and insights that are reviewed by analysts and delivered through an online dashboard and report, providing actionable information to pipeline companies. By automating parts of aerial patrols, Flyscan aims to improve detection capabilities beyond visual inspection alone, helping companies identify threats early before they become large events.
