“…In recent years, pipeline monitoring has attracted much attention [1][2][3][4] due to their wide applications and importance to a nation's economy. Most of the monitoring are related to impact detection, 5 leakage monitoring, [6][7][8][9] foreign intrusion detection, [10][11][12] crack detection, [13][14][15] and corrosion and erosion monitoring. [16][17][18] A much less monitoring topic is the sand deposits, which gather at the bottom of the pipeline and seriously affect the carrying capacity of a pipeline.…”

Deposits prevention and removal in pipeline has great importance to ensure pipeline operation. Selecting a suitable removal time based on the composition and mass of the deposits not only reduces cost but also improves efficiency. In this article, we develop a new non-destructive approach using the percussion method and voice recognition with support vector machine to detect the sandy deposits in the steel pipeline. Particularly, as the mass of sandy deposits in the pipeline changes, the impact-induced sound signals will be different. A commonly used voice recognition feature, Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients, which represent the result of a cosine transform of the real logarithm of the short-term energy spectrum on a Mel-frequency scale, is adopted in this research and Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients are extracted from the obtained sound signals. A support vector machine model was employed to identify the sandy deposits with different mass values by classifying energy summation and Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients. In addition, the classification accuracies of energy summation and Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients are compared. The experimental results demonstrated that Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients perform better in pipeline deposits detection and have great potential in acoustic recognition for structural health monitoring. In addition, the proposed Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients–based pipeline deposits monitoring model can estimate the deposits in the pipeline with high accuracy. Moreover, compared with current non-destructive deposits detection approaches, the percussion method is easy to implement. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and acoustic recognition, the proposed method can realize higher accuracy and higher speed in the detection of pipeline deposits, and has great application potential in the future. In addition, the proposed percussion method can enable robotic-based inspection for large-scale implementation.
