Regular maintenance of pipelines is an important task to ensure oil transportation and other operation (sewers, nature gas). Precise localization of pipeline damage can greatly improve the efficiency of maintenance work. Since the texture similarity and illumination change of pipe, traditional local descriptors for image matching like SIFT, SURF and ORB are easy to suffer from false correspondence...
