Claim 10:
11. A pipe inspection system, comprising:
a multi-sensor pipe inspection robot that traverses through the interior of a pipe and obtains two or more sets of condition assessment data for the interior of the pipe collected during a single pass through the interior of the pipe;
the multi-sensor pipe inspection robot comprising a first sensor type and a second sensor type;
the two or more sets of condition assessment data comprising a first data type obtained using the first sensor type and a second data type obtained using the second sensor type; and
a processor that:
obtains the two or more sets of condition assessment data for the interior of the pipe collected during a single pass through the interior of the pipe;
identifies, using a first image processing technique applied to the first data type obtained using the first sensor type, a pipe feature;
uses the pipe feature identified to identify data of the second sensor type associated with the pipe feature;
selects a feature specific image processing technique based on the data identified of the second sensor type associated with the pipe feature;
combines two or more image processing techniques, including the first image processing technique and the feature specific image processing technique, to adjust imaging of a pipe feature; and
forms an image of the interior of the pipe using the two or more image processing techniques.
