Application of active methods hyperspectral survey for remote monitoring of oil pipeline systems

Abstract

The development of mankind is characterized by an intensive increase in the anthropogenic load on the environment, which in turn can lead to a deterioration of the ecological balance in the ecosystem and affect the life and health of people. Purpose. The purpose of this work is to analyze methods of environmental and technical monitoring of main oil pipeline systems. Task. To analyze and make a comparative analysis of active methods of hyperspectral survey and other modern existing remote methods of environmental and technical monitoring of main oil pipeline systems in order to obtain the most complete information about the occurrence of dangerous and emergency situations. Research result. Hyperspectral survey, in comparison with other monitoring methods, allows you to identify objects by their physical and chemical composition, determine and analyze the species composition and state of vegetation, the geological structure of territories, study the chemical and physical composition, and so on. On the other hand, the amount of data that has to be processed, filtered, transmitted through communication channels, stored, and classified is very large. This, in turn, leads to limited data processing capabilities of hyperspectral images both on Board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and the complexity of data processing in ground-based data collection points. Scientific novelty. Hyperspectral survey is an advanced multispectral survey and is the most modern method for monitoring oil pipelines. Thanks to the latest technologies, the number of spectral channels increases from tens to hundreds or even thousands. The advantages of using this method are defined. Conclusions and practical significance. The use of active hyperspectral survey methods for remote monitoring of oil pipeline systems is a promising means of preventing and eliminating accidents at oil transport facilities, but it requires solving some technical problems. However, after their solution, these monitoring methods will be applied not only in the field of safety of oil transportation facilities and the study of the environmental condition of territories in the event of accidents at these facilities, but also in other areas of environmental, geological, agricultural and technical monitoring.
