GaugeCam Remote Image Manager - Machine Vision Software for Water Measurement
| Home | About | Contacts | Blog |
| Research Background | ||
| GaugeCam is being utilized
by the Biological and
Agricultural Engineering Department at North Carolina State
University. Dr.
François Birgand
is guiding the research efforts. The GaugeCam blog
presents commentary from investigators as work progresses.
The GaugeCam research objective is to determine the feasibility of a camera-based water level monitoring system. The effectiveness of the GaugeCam Lab camera is being tested using a variety of backgrounds and lighting conditions, as seen in the live feed to the left. The GaugeCam Remote camera system (lower left) is being assembled for field applications of the GaugeCam concept. Laboratory and field tests will culminate with a comparison of GaugeCam with current stream gauging technologies, including bubbler gauges and submersible transducers. |

GaugeCam Remote Image
Manager (GRIM) is the basis for
the
image-based water level detection system which automates visual
monitoring of water levels. GRIM is a product of the KamVu libraries,
created by Kenneth Chapman. As testing of the GaugeCam Remote system progresses, development of an web-based data tool is also underway. This tool will provide images as well as numerical data. These images may prove invaluable as a way of visually verifying data and accompanying field conditions. The GaugeCam blog contains more software details, as well as demonstrations of software functionality. Demonstrations include various lighting scenarios and detection animations. |
