  • Patent number: 11609966
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device and a method for measuring stream water depth in real-time through positioning data filtering to ensure the reliability of the measured water depth data even when the stream water depth measurement data is filtered and applied to a small stream having a small basin area and a steep slope. The device for measuring stream water depth in real-time through positioning data filtering includes: a measuring part for measuring the water depth of a stream to be measured; a positioning data filtering part for filtering the water depth data measured by the measuring means by a local linear regression-based bivariate scatterplot smoothing technique through elastic bandwidth application; and a water depth calculating part for calculating a water depth of the stream to be measured by using the positioning data filtered by the positioning data filtering part, and minimizing the uncertainty of the water depth measurement.

  • Patent number: 11353354
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for automatically measuring a discharge in real time based on a CCTV image. The system includes: a water depth measurement device filtering water depth data measured by a measurement means with a local linear regression-based bivariate scatterplot smoothing technique through flexible bandwidth application to calculate the water depth of a stream; an image acquisition device acquiring a continuous image of a flow speed measurement side of the stream; an image analysis PC using an image of the image acquisition device to measure the surface flow speed in real time and receiving a measured water depth from the water depth measurement device to measure the discharge in real time with cross-section data; and a discharge calculation and management server for transmitting and displaying a real-time discharge measurement result based on a web.

  • Patent number: 11187568
    Abstract: The present invention provides a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, more particularly, to a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, which is configured to demarcate the boundary between a vehicular roadway and a pedestrian sidewalk to measure the flood depth so that the flood depth in the urban area can be measured without the necessity for additional installation of a separate structure. In particular, the present invention has an effect in that an air contact type water level gauge is installed in a first space of a main body to measure the flood depth, i.e., the level of flooding water based on the internal air pressure of a cylindrical tube so that a pressure sensor is not brought into close contact with the flooding water to prevent corrosion of the pressure sensor, thereby reducing the maintenance and repair costs.
