    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining, from a multi-sensor pipe inspection robot that traverses through the interior of a pipe, sensor data, such as structured laser light sensor data and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor data, for the interior of the pipe; identifying a pipe feature using one or more of the sensor data types; selecting an image processing technique based on the pipe feature identified using a stored association between the pipe feature and an image processing technique; and forming an image of the interior of the pipe by implementing the selected image processing technique. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Described is a method of providing an augmented reality (AR) scene of pipe inspection data, including: obtaining, using a processor, pipe inspection data derived from a pipe inspection robot that traverses through the interior of an underground pipe, the pipe inspection data including one or more sets of condition assessment data relating to an interior of the underground pipe; obtaining, using a processor, real-time visual image data of an above-ground surface; combining, using a processor, the pipe inspection data with the real-time visual image data in an AR scene; and displaying, using a display device, the AR scene. Other examples are described and claimed.
