PipesDefectDetection is an open-source software framework for real-time visual detection of gas pipeline defects using deep learning. Built upon the YOLOv11 architecture and deployed via a lightweight Streamlit interface, the system enables engineers to identify surface anomalies – such as corrosion, dents, and deformation – directly from inspection images. The model is trained on field-collected datasets and supports continuous improvement via Roboflow-based annotation pipelines. With real-time inference, exportable reports, and platform independence, the software facilitates condition-based maintenance and risk-informed decision-making. This paper describes the architecture, functionalities, impact, and validation of the platform in operational environments.
