Abstract

This paper proposes a novel method to detect the water level of a river or reservoir. Images of the ruler which is used to measure the water level are obtained easily from a camera installed on the bank. Based on the property of the images captured by the camera, the problem of water level calculation can be transformed to the problem of classifying each image into two classes of ruler and water. As dictionary learning model has shown, its ability and efficiency in image classification problems, it is utilized in this paper to solve the problem of water level detection.
