Prediction of river discharges at confluences based on Entropy theory and surface-velocity measurements

Farhad Bahmanpouri et al.

Summary: In this study, an entropy-based method was used to monitor and analyze the velocity of large rivers. The results showed good agreement with in-situ ADCP measurements, demonstrating the potential of the entropy method for estimating discharge and velocity in very large rivers relying solely on near-surface velocity monitoring.

Image-based river discharge estimation by merging heterogeneous data with information entropy theory

Nour Chahrour et al.

Summary: An information entropy based approach is used to measure the discharge of the Isere river, with parameters that are linearly related to surface velocities, reducing dispersion. The protocol is calibrated with both aDcp and surface velocity measurements, and validated during events where only surface velocities are measured, showing accurate results.

Hydro-morphological mapping of river reaches using videos captured with UAS

Anette Eltner et al.

Summary: Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are commonly utilized in fluvial geomorphology for their ability to capture continuous data. This study introduces a (semi-)automated workflow for measuring river bathymetry and surface flow velocities using UAS videos and imagery. By combining video frame filtering, structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry, and image velocimetry analysis, the workflow accurately estimates flow patterns and discharge, providing valuable input for hydro-morphological models.

A comparison of tools and techniques for stabilising unmanned aerial system (UAS) imagery for surface flow observations

Robert Ljubicic et al.

Summary: This study summarizes several freely available DIS tools applicable to UAS velocimetry and evaluates them in terms of stabilization accuracy, robustness, computational complexity, and user experience. Differences were found in the method for identifying static features in videos, with state-of-the-art methods relying on automatic selection showing higher stabilization accuracy but requiring fewer user-provided parameters.
