چکیده

This paper presents a remote sensing technique for calibrating hydrodynamics models, which is particularly useful when access to the riverbed for a direct measure of flow variables may be precluded. The proposed technique uses terrestrial photography and automatic pattern recognition analysis together with digital mapping and does not require image ortho-rectification. Compared to others invasive or remote sensing calibration, this method is relatively cheap and can be repeated over time, thus allowing calibration over multiple flow rates . We applied this technique to a sequence of highresolution photographs of the restored reach of the river Thur, near Niederneunforn, Switzerland. In order to calibrate the roughness coefficient, the actual exposed areas of the gravel bar are first computed using the pattern recognition algorithm, and then compared to the ones obtained from numerical hydrodynamic simulations over the entire range of observed flows. Analysis of the minimum error between the observed and the computed exposed areas show that the optimum roughness coefficient is discharge dependent; particularly it decreases as flow rate increases, as expected. The study is completed with an analysis of the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MEA), which allow finding the best fitting roughness coefficient that can be used over a wide range of flow rates, including large floods. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Geometric Calibration and Orthorectification of Bilsat–1 Imagery

A physical model, which was developed for the orthorectification of the BILSAT–1 Multispectral (XS) imagery, is presented. To model the physical reality of the BILSAT–1 sensor, the well known collinearity condition equations are utilized. The developed model was tested using three study areas. The accuracies of the orthorectified BILSAT– 1 images were evaluated with and without using the self-c...

Introduction: Patterns of spatial and temporal rainfall impact on runoff and outlet hydrograph (Cordery, 1993; James, 1994). Results of different studies have clarified that simulation by using diverse rainfall data could increase the reliance of results. These were much more sensible in which areas encounter with data scarcity (Mello et al., 2008; Bekiaris et al., 2008). Rainfall properties in...

Spatial accuracy of orthorectified IKONOS imagery and historical aerial photographs across five sites in China

High-resolution ((1 m) satellite imagery and archival World War II era (WW2) aerial photographs are currently available to support high-resolution long-term change measurements at sites across China. A major limitation to these measurements is the spatial accuracy with which this imagery can be orthorectified and co-registered. We orthorectified IKONOS 1 m resolution GEO-format imagery and WW2 ...

A Semi-automatic Procedure for Texturing of Laser Scanning Point Clouds with Google Streetview Images

We introduce a method to texture 3D urban models with photographs that even works for Google Streetview images and can be done with currently available free software. This allows realistic texturing, even when it is not possible or cost-effective to (re)visit a scanned site to take textured scans or photographs. Mapping a photograph onto a 3D model requires knowledge of the intrinsic and extrin...

Estimation of siltation depth in harbors and estuaries plays an important role in design of marine structures. In this paper, siltation process at Bushehr estuary as one of the most important water bodies in south of Iran is modeled by so-called MIKE 21 mathematical model. To achieve this, at first a large scale hydrodynamic model calibrated by IRANSIAM registered water levels is developed whil...
