“…However, the effect of background noise can easily mask the actual sound of a leak. In order to overcome this challenge, several signal analysis techniques have been proposed in literature such as interrogation methods [13], wavelet transform methods as well as the combination of acoustic sensors with other types of sensors such as magnetic flux leakage [14,52,56].…”

Pipelines are widely used for the transportation of hydrocarbon fluids over millions of miles all over the world. The structures of the pipelines are designed to withstand several environmental loading conditions to ensure safe and reliable distribution from point of production to the shore or distribution depot. However, leaks in pipeline networks are one of the major causes of innumerable losses in pipeline operators and nature. Incidents of pipeline failure can result in serious ecological disasters, human casualties and financial loss. In order to avoid such menace and maintain safe and reliable pipeline infrastructure, substantial research efforts have been devoted to implementing pipeline leak detection and localisation using different approaches. This paper discusses pipeline leakage detection technologies and summarises the state-of-the-art achievements. Different leakage detection and localisation in pipeline systems are reviewed and their strengths and weaknesses are highlighted. Comparative performance analysis is performed to provide a guide in determining which leak detection method is appropriate for particular operating settings. In addition, research gaps and open issues for development of reliable pipeline leakage detection systems are discussed.

“…While many IoT-based solutions rely on specialized sensor for monitoring, sound carries a lot of information regarding the state of operations and mechanical integrity of machines. It has been used in a variety of areas including gas and pipeline leak detection [26], [27], as well as structural integrity of equipment [28]. Combined to the frequent availability of CCTV cameras for site surveillance, this means that a number of smart factory tasks could be handled by only adding Blinkies at critical locations.…”

We propose an open source hardware platform called Blinky, a sound-to-light conversion sensor that harvests sound power at low-rate and conveniently. Blinkies are made up of a central processing unit connected to two microphones and a few light-emitting devices, are powered by a battery, and protected by a robust enclosure. Distributed in space and combined with a conventional video camera, they allow to practically sense sound power over a very large area without hassle. We give a comprehensive overview of the proposed system and its potential applications. We describe the hardware design and trade-offs made. We provide a model for the channel between sound power measurements and signal acquired by the video camera. Because each sensor is potentially affected by a different attenuation due to the channel, we propose a calibration procedure to restore the scale of the measurements. The effectiveness of the calibration is validated in an experiment. Finally, we demonstrate sound source localization using a hundred-and-one actual Blinkies in highly reverberent environment.INDEX TERMS Blinkies, acoustic power sensors, distributed sensing, sound source localization, soundto-light conversion.

“…The time lag between the acoustic signals when the sensors sensed the leak is used to detect and identify the point of leakage [43,47]. The uses of acoustic emission methods for pipeline leaks detection have been reported in several studies [48][49][50]. A reference standard for setting up and evaluating acoustic emission sensors deploy for detection of pipeline leakages proposed by [51].…”
