Discharge Platforms and Applications

All our systems are non-contact and image-based. They use images for measuring the surface velocity and water level to calculate the discharge in rivers, irrigation and waste water channels. To measure the surface velocity, we use the Surface Structure Imaging Velocimetry (SSIV) and the Space-Time Image Velocimetry (STIV) methods. The water level can be measured optically with a camera or with external water level sensors.

DischargeKeeper

This system continuously measures level, velocity and discharge. It consists of a camera, a processing and a transmission unit.

LevelKeeper

Optical system for continous water level measurement.

DischargeApp

The DischargeApp allows to measure the discharge with a smartphone. It is fully integrated with the DischargeWeb, the only input data it needs it the cross-section, river bed roughness and 4 ground control points.

DKApp

The DischargeKeeperApp is a mobile application to measure the discharge in rivers and canals unlike the DApp, it does not need any prior information but the calculated discharge is approximate. It is meant to be used with the DischargeProcessing if more accurate results are desired.

DischargeProcessing

With this web-based software it is possible to process any video recorded under defined conditions.

DischargeWeb

Visualize and manage, users, stations and collected data from the DischargeApp and from the DischargeKeeper

ptBox

Low-cost and modular hardware for the implementation of image-based systems.

Our systems are used worldwide
