Applied Mechanics and Applied Technology in Gully Erosion Measurement Based on Computer Vision with a Reference

Abstract:

In order to solve such problems as the difficulty of traditional monitoring of gully erosion and the high cost of modern measurement, the computer vision method was applied in gully erosion measurement in this paper, a reference was used instead of camera calibration, which makes it easy to carry out in the outside gully erosion measurement. An example is given for an actual gully erosion measurement using this method, which shows that the method is practical, simple, and with low cost. A software was also developed for using the method more easy.
