Abstract

In this study, a cloud-based ImageWater Level Gauge system called as the River Eye was developed, which combines two functions of video surveillance on river flow condition and water level measurement. The River Eye system is composed of four parts: hardware including on-site cameras and a cloud server, application system for clients, water level measurement software and a map-based web service. This system has been being in demonstrative operation to test performance and stability for four sites. Description of the system architecture and water level detection software with application results was briefly provided.
