Publication number: 20240077351Abstract: A water level detection method via video recognition, includes steps of obtaining an image of a water level gauge from a camera; wherein the water level gauge includes multiple two-dimensional barcodes; and determining a water level according to the two-dimensional barcodes. When a body of water partly covers the water level gauge, the body of water would cover some of the two-dimensional barcodes, leaving the rest of visible two-dimensional barcodes corresponding to the water level. When the water is clear, the two-dimensional barcodes underwater would be visible yet at the same time indecipherable due to distorted barcode scales. This way, the present invention is able to avoid accidentally counting two-dimensional barcodes underwater, and thus more accurately and robustly detect water levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Chia-Ming CHANG, Paul Kuei-Ker SUN
