Abstract
Existing methods for monitoring the pipeline economy have significant limitations in terms of complexity and cost, which makes it difficult to use them to control the state of urban heating networks. The paper considers the use of photography and thermal imaging for monitoring over ground heating networks of the city of Kemerovo. In the course of the study, a digital twin of above-ground heating networks was obtained in the visible and infrared spectra. Thermal imaging data allow identifying sections of networks with elevated temperatures corresponding to different degrees of damage to pipes and their insulation. The thermal imaging image corresponds to one pixel of the section of the heating main under consideration. As a result of the work, the owner of the heating networks was provided with complete information on temperature anomalies of pipes, indicating the exact geographical coordinates. This made it possible to plan repairs much faster and more efficiently, since there is no need for a complete inspection of pipes; only problem areas that have already been identified can be analyzed.
