Flat image from Video

Hi All

Im new here, and currently reading around and learning as much as I can. Im asking to get ideas, help and make connections - im not expecting a compelte answer (although welcomed) Also, if people would be interested in this project, please feel free to contact me

So we have cameras, which travel within pipes, of various sizes. The cameras are looking for defects on the pipe (cracks, bulges and so on)

The video will always have a distance stamp on it (as an overlay) which will tell you the position, as the speed will vary of the travel of the camera within the pipe.

So, for a starter, im wondering whether this set of tools can take this video and effectivly flatten it into a 2d image. The hope is to then wrap this 2d image around a 3d cylinder so you can see the inside of the pipe on the outside, for easier assessment.

So, the obvious question is - this is the right thing for this task, and then any help, opinions or comments are greatly welcomed.

Thanks for reading !
