The continuous thermal imaging of the flood embankment to identify location of the leaks

Abstract

The interpretation of continuous thermographic measurements of leaking soil embankment is presented in the abstract. The measurements were conducted at the daybreak and sunny morning, when air temperature rose intensively. The temperature of leak regions has increased slowly in contrary to temperature of dry one regions. Examining differential thermal images taken with one-hour delay, it was possible to detect the horizontal zone where the sand layer was located and water filtration on embankment surface existed.

Application of Electrical Tomography Imaging Using Machine Learning Methods for the Monitoring of Flood Embankments Leaks

“…Another method is thermography, which uses the phenomenon of the non-contact detection of electromagnetic radiation in the mid-infrared band. By analizing thermal images at different time intervals, changes in flood weights can be detected [3]. Another type of method is based on the analysis of the propagation of the generated electric current in the studied medium.…”

Intelligent System for Analysis and Monitoring of Flood Embankments Based on Electrical Impedance Tomography, Machine Learning and Internet of Things

“…During the measurement, the temperature distribution on the surface of the measured object is obtained. By analysing different thermal images taken at different times, some anomalies can be detected, such as leaks in flood embankments [12]. The article has been divided into 5 chapters with the introduction.…”
