Abstract
• This paper presents PipeProbe, a mobile sensor system for determining the spatial topology of hidden water pipelines behind walls
• PipeProbe works by dropping a tiny wireless sensor capsule into the source of the water pipelines
![Page 5: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Abstract
• As the PipeProbe capsule traverses the pipelines, it gathers and transmits pressure and angular velocity readings
• Through spatio-temporal analysis on the sensor readings, their algorithm locates all turning points in the pipelines and maps their 3D spatial topology

Introduction
• Houses are often equipped with an extensive water pipeline network – Distributing water to different water-using fixtures
and appliances throughout the home– Such as bathroom toilets, kitchen faucets, garden
sprinklers, washing machines, etc• It is therefore unfortunate that plumbing is
ranked as one of the ten most frequently found problems in homes
![Page 10: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hidden Leaking Pipes
• Leaking pipes are one of the most common problems in plumbing
• Hidden leaking pipes often cause extensive damage to floors, walls and belongings in a home
• The first step in fixing leaking pipes is to locate where they are for further inspection
![Page 11: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Guesswork
• When leaking water pipes are hidden inside walls and underneath floors– Diagnosing their location without direct inspection
becomes very difficult– Especially when the original diagram of the pipeline
layout is also missing• Searching for the pipeline locations becomes
guesswork– Often requires a brute-force method– Such as knocking down walls and stripping floor coverings
![Page 12: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PipeProbe
• This problem created an opportunity for the development of PipeProbe– A mobile sensing probe that is dropped into the source
of the water pipeline• In comparison to the traditional brute-force
approach– PipeProbe system is a non-intrusive method of
mapping and locating indoor water pipelines – Requires no alteration to the water pipeline
infrastructure
![Page 13: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pipeline Turning Points
• Since leaking often occurs at places where two disjoint pipe tubes join together
• Mapping locations of these pipeline turning points is especially important for inspection
![Page 14: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Three Important Contributions
• 1st Important Contribution– Rather than fixing sensing points in the utility
infrastructure– PipeProbe adopts a mobile sensing approach – In which a mobile sensor travels and performs on-
the-spot data collection at different places
![Page 15: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Three Important Contributions
• 2nd Important Contribution– A novel localization method was developed to
accurately estimate the 3D spatial topology of the capsule-traversed water pipelines• From the pressure and rotation graphs collected and
computed by the PipeProbe system– Experimental results from their testbed showed
that their mobile sensing approach produced a high-precision 3D map of the pipeline with centimeter-level errors
![Page 16: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Three Important Contributions• 3rd Important Contribution– Since the PipeProbe capsule is designed to model a
water droplet• Its physical movement leverages the force inside of the
pipeline infrastructure for propulsion– This means that no motoring is necessary to power its
movement• Which increases the PipeProbe capsule’s energy-efficiency
and allows it to operate on only 15 mA of current– To illustrate, a tiny lithium button cell battery can keep
their PipeProbe capsule operating for over 1 kilometer at a water flow rate of 15 centimeters per second
![Page 17: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Pipeline Profiling
• Ideally, the PipeProbe system would be to clone a micro sensing hydro molecule that flows along the pipeline– Like the myriad other hydro molecules in the fluid
system– Observe the wall-embedded pipelines from within
• The current PipeProbe prototype is made of a tiny wireless sensor node – Packaged in a water-proof spherical shell measuring 4
centimeters in diameter
![Page 19: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Works In Two Stages
• PipeProbe works in two stages– (1) Data Collection Stage– (2) Data Analysis Stage
• In the data collection stage– the PipeProbe capsule traverses a water pipeline and
collects data from the pressure and gyroscope sensors• In the data analysis stage– Their system analyzes the sensor readings and derives
the 3D spatial topology of the traversed water pipeline
![Page 20: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How PipeProbe Operates
• PipeProbe operates as follows• First, the capsule is dropped into the main
water inlet of a home or building• When an outlet (i.e., a faucet) is opened, the
force of the resulting water flow pushes the capsule through different possible paths for the connected water pipes
![Page 21: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How PipeProbe Operates
• While the capsule is flowing inside the water pipelines, it logs the sensed pressure and angular velocity data to an EEPROM
• A radio within the PipeProbe capsule transmits the sensor data buffered in the EEPROM to a PC-connected base station
![Page 22: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How PipeProbe Operates
• Alternatively, when the PipeProbe capsule flows out of a water outlet, users can manually transfer sensor data from the capsule’s EEPROM to a PC
• Finally, the data analysis part of the PipeProbe system computes and maps the 3D spatial topology of the hidden water pipeline
![Page 23: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Enable Multiple Measurements
• During the data collection stage, if the PipeProbe capsule flows out of a water outlet– It can be reinserted into the water inlet and reused for
additional data collection• Multiple trips enable the discovery of diverse pipeline
branches– Which are used for producing the full map
• In addition, multiple measurements over the same flow path – Can be utilized to filter out noise in the data – Enhance the accuracy of the 3D spatial topology
reconstruction

Data Collection
• The PipeProbe capsule was prototyped with the Eco wireless sensor mote
![Page 29: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Eco Mote
• The Eco mote is an ultra-compact and low power wireless sensor node
• It measures only 13 mm (L) × 11 mm (W) × 7 mm (H) and weighs 3 grams (including battery)
• It consumes less than 10 mA in transmission mode (0 dBm) and 22 mA in receiving mode
![Page 30: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Small Form Factor + Low Power Consumption
• Its maximum data rate and RF range are 1Mbps and 10 meters, respectively
• The Eco’s small form factor and low power consumption make it ideal for their PipeProbe capsule – Which requires a tiny size to allow it to flow freely
inside a water pipeline
![Page 31: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Flexible-PCB Type Expansion Port
• The Eco mote has a flexible-PCB type expansion port that has 16 pins
• This expansion port includes – Two digital I/O pins– Two analog input lines– Serial peripheral interface (SPI)– RS232– Voltage inputs for a regulator and battery charging
![Page 32: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
MS5541C Pressure Sensor
• The Intersema MS5541C pressure sensor is wired to the Eco mote via the SPI protocol
• MS5541C measures a pressure range from 0 to 14 bars with a resolution of 1.2 mbars
![Page 33: PipeProbe: A Mobile Sensor Droplet for Mapping Hidden Pipeline](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568165d6550346895dd8e4be/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
MS5541C Pressure Sensor
• Given less than 5 uA operating current the MS5541C enables the Eco mote to sample frequently without drawing too much battery power
• The MS5541C requires an oscillator at the frequency of 32.768kHz for sensor ADC
• To fulfill that requirement a SG3030JC was chosen for the external oscillator
• The pressure sensor samples the water pressure at a peak rate of 33 Hz

Discussion
• In the PipeProbe system, there two assumptions– (1) all pipelines have the same diameter– (2) the position of inlet/outlet point is known
• Here we discuss how to relax these assumptions

All Pipelines Have The Same Diameter?
• A change in the internal pipe diameter causes a corresponding change in the volumetric flow rate and velocity
• To detect different water flow velocities, we will augment PipeProbe with an extra paddlewheel speed sensor to measuring its flow velocity directly

Paddlewheel Speed Sensor
• This would also avoid the need to create constant water flow velocity in their current system
• The paddlewheel speed sensor works as follows• As water flow causes the paddlewheel to spin,
the magnets imbedded in the paddle spin produce electrical pulses proportional to its flow velocity

The Position Of Inlet/Outlet Point Is Known?
• There are some cheap and handy tools that architects use on a daily basis to measure the 3D position of inlet/outlet points
• For example, barometer can measure building height
• Laser rangefinders can measure width/length• Higher-end meters generally provide more
accurate measurements

NAWMS Project
• Provides information about where and how much water people are using
• By attaching vibration sensors to pipe surfaces• NAWMS is easy to install, but is not very
feasible since all of the pipes in a building have to be installed with a sensor
• This gets expensive when the pipeline• structure is complex

PIPENET Project
• Monitors water flow and detects leaks by – Attaching acoustic and vibration sensors to
external pipelines – Attaching pressure sensors to internal pipelines

Conclusion
• The proposed PipeProbe system presents a novel mobile sensor system for determining the spatial topology of hidden water pipelines
• Experimental results from their testbed achieved – A median length error of 2 centimeters– 90% of the tests had a length error of 7
centimeters or less while

Conclusion
• Positional error – Had a median positional error of 6.8 centimeters, – 90% of the tests had a positional error of 15.8
centimeters or less• By using a tiny capsule to sense pressure readings as
it traverses through the pipelines, the PipeProbe system produces accurate mapping
• Additionally, PipeProbe is highly energy-efficient, since its physical movement leverages the existing water flow

Comments
• Strength– The writing is very, very good– Tested on their testbed for pretty complete
evaluation• Weakness– Did not test on a real building structure for
evaluation
