FEATURES OF THE APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHY METHODS FOR DETECTING ANOMALIES OF CONTINUOUS AND BRANCHED PIPELINES

Features of the use of computer tomography methods for detecting anomalies (fistulas, leaks) of long and branched pipelines located underground or under water are given. When using remote sensing methods with linear, angular or combined (linear and angular) scanning of acoustic noise sensors, the possibility of using direct and inverse Radon transformation to calculate the coordinates of the leak source is shown. Specified methods and features of obtaining tomographic images. On the basis of the obtained results, it is shown that the use of tomographic methods for processing acoustic noise signals is a promising way to increase the accuracy and resolution of spatial coordinate control systems.
