Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for uniquely identifying buried utilities in a multi-utility region. The system and methods may include sensing magnetic fields upon moving a magnetic field sensing locating device over a multi-utility region comprising a plurality of buried utilities. The sensed magnetic fields may be used to identify a plurality of location data points each indicative of location information pertaining to one or more buried utilities. Based on these location data points, a plurality of clusters may be generated where each cluster may include a set of location data points sharing common characteristics. The generated clusters may exhibit one or more patterns which may be identified and subsequently utilized for classifying the clusters to uniquely identify the buried utilities.

Abstract: Utility locators with various antenna configurations for detecting buried objects or otherwise inaccessible pipes and other conduits, cables, conductors and inserted transmitters are disclosed. In one embodiment, a locator includes a body with a mast and head unit, one or more dodecahedral antenna nodes coupled to or on or within the body, and a camera disposed on or within the body. The camera may be a still camera, a video camera, or both. The locator may also include one or more GPS sensors coupled to one or more GPS antennas.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for locating buried conductors using ambient electromagnetic signals, such as AM or other broadcast signals, are described. A buried utility locator may include a plurality of spatially separated antenna arrays, a receiver circuit coupled thereto, and a processing element programmed to process measurements of ambient electromagnetic signals and associated electromagnetic signals radiated from current induced in the buried conductor from the ambient signals to determine information about the buried conductor.
