Method and system for remote processing and analysis of industrial asset inspection data
First Claim
1. A remote processing device for processing inspection data collected by one or more inspection apparatuses, said remote processing device configured to be remotely located from the one or more inspection apparatuses during collection of the inspection data, said remote processing device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to transmit data to the one or more inspection apparatuses and to receive data from the one or more inspection apparatuses; and
an on-board computing device coupled to said communication unit, said on-board computing device comprising at least one processor and a memory device coupled to said at least one processor, said at least one processor configured to;
receive, from the one or more inspection apparatuses, geotagged unprocessed image data over a first communication channel;
receive, from the one or more inspection apparatuses, geotagged fluid concentration data over a second communication channel;
process the geotagged unprocessed image data into one or more image files;
retrieve historical fluid concentration data from a remote data source;
generate a fluid data map, including a plurality of layers displayed within a data visualization of a geographic region associated with the inspection data collected by the one or more inspection apparatuses, the fluid data map displaying the geotagged fluid concentration data in a first layer and the historical fluid concentration data in a second layer overlaid on the first layer, the first and second layers overlaid on a third layer including the one or more image files; and
transmit the fluid data map to one or more remote computing devices.

Abstract
A remote processing device for processing inspection data collected by one or more inspection apparatuses includes a communication unit and an on-board computing device coupled to the communication device. The communication unit is configured to transmit data to and receive data from one or more inspection apparatuses. The on-board computing device includes at least one processor and a memory device coupled to the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive geotagged unprocessed image data from the inspection apparatuses over a first communication channel, receive geotagged fluid concentration data from the inspection apparatuses over a second communication channel, process the geotagged unprocessed image data into one or more image files, generate a fluid data map by overlaying the geotagged fluid concentration data over the one or more image files, and transmit the fluid data map to one or more remote computing devices.
