Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for estimating location of features in a pipeline be based on acquiring measurements of electromagnetic signals from the plurality of electromagnetic sensors; detecting welds in walls of the pipeline based on the measurements; estimating an instantaneous velocity of the device as the device passes welds based at least in part on characteristics of the measurements of the signals from the plurality of electromagnetic sensors; and estimating position of the device in the pipeline based at least in part on the estimates of the instantaneous velocity of the device over time.
