Call for Papers
We are promoting a Special Issue on River Monitoring with the aim to provide an overview of the most advanced research activities in this field. The aim of the present…
Recent Advancements and Perspectives in UAS-Based Image Velocimetry
Videos acquired from Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) allow for monitoring river systems at high spatial and temporal resolutions providing unprecedented datasets for hydrological and hydraulic applications. The cost-effectiveness of these…
Increasing LSPIV performances by exploiting the seeding distribution index
Image-based approaches for surface velocity estimations are becoming increasingly popular because of the increasing need for low-cost river flow monitoring methods. In this context, seeding characteristics and dynamics along the…
A comparison of tools and techniques for stabilising UAS imagery for surface flow observations
This research presents an investigation of different strategies and tools for digital image stabilisation for image velocimetry purposes. Basic aspects of image stabilisation and transformation are presented, and their applicability…
Optimal spatial distribution of tracers for velocimetry applications
River monitoring is of particular interest as a society that faces increasingly complex water management issues. Emerging technologies have contributed to opening new avenues for improving our monitoring capabilities but…
