[0023] A plurality of monitoring sites are arranged along the river bank, and the water quantity monitoring system is arranged at each monitoring site. In the embodiment, a solid stand can be arranged on the bank, and the water level video identification camera is fixed at an appropriate height to ensure that the water surface and its changes can be clearly captured. The water level video identification camera is a device specially designed for monitoring and measuring the water level of a water body. Such a camera usually combines a high-definition camera and advanced image processing technology, and can automatically analyze the captured image data to determine the water level. In the embodiment, the main parameter indicators of the water level video identification camera are as follows: supporting RS485 interface, supporting Micro SD card slot (supporting 512GB storage card); 1 pair of audio input / output interface; horizontal manual maximum speed ≥ 650° / s; vertical manual maximum speed ≥ 120° / s; vertical rotation range: supporting vertical direction-40°-90° rotation setting; supporting 1080p@30fps high-definition picture output; supporting H.265 high-efficiency compression algorithm, which can greatly save storage space; using high-efficiency infrared array, low power consumption, illumination distance not less than 100m, night infrared measurement distance not less than 80m, accuracy reaching 1cm; collection frequency can be set according to the demand of the owner; resolution ≤5mm; measurement error ±1cm; 120dB optical wide dynamic, suitable for backlight environment monitoring.
[0024] The flow velocity video identification camera is a device specially used for measuring the water flow velocity. By capturing continuous video frames, the movement of feature points (such as floating objects or other markers) on the water surface is identified, so as to calculate the water flow velocity. In the embodiment, a solid stand can be arranged on the bank, and the flow velocity video identification camera is fixed at an appropriate height to ensure that the water surface can be clearly captured. In the embodiment, the model of the flow velocity video identification camera can be DH-IPC-HFW5849T-ASE-LED.
[0025] In use, the water level video recognition camera is electrically connected to the controller, which is a 32-bit CPU chip, such as an STM32F103 (Cortex-M3). The controller communicates with a remote terminal via a communication module, which can be a 4G cellular communication module or fiber optic. The remote terminal can be a computer, mobile phone, etc. The camera automatically aligns with the corresponding water level gauge and takes photos according to the shooting instructions from the remote terminal. Each time the water level video recognition camera starts, it takes 5 photos at a 5-minute interval, automatically capturing photos with a resolution of 1920*1080 or higher, compressing them, and uploading them to the remote terminal. The photo data can also be read, converted, and uploaded to the remote terminal for direct querying. A high-speed TF card is connected to the water level video recognition camera to store the captured photos.
[0026] The flow velocity video recognition camera is electrically connected to the controller. It collects video information of the test river section according to the shooting instructions of the remote terminal, compresses it and uploads it to the remote terminal. It also calculates the flow velocity through the captured video and sends it to the remote terminal. The second TF high-speed storage card is connected to the flow velocity video recognition camera to store the captured video.
[0027] A radar current meter is a non-contact device that uses radar technology to measure the velocity of water flow. The model can be SICKFLOWSIC30. It is installed on the shore using existing mounting brackets. The radar current meter emits microwave signals through an antenna. The signals are reflected back after encountering the water surface and are received by the device. The water flow velocity is calculated based on the frequency change (Doppler shift) of the reflected signal. The controller sends the water flow velocity to a remote terminal through a communication module.
[0028] By simultaneously monitoring flow velocity using a flow velocity video recognition camera and a radar flow meter, cross-verification can be achieved, ensuring more accurate and reliable data. The radar flow meter can operate normally in inclement weather or at night, while the flow velocity video recognition camera may be more effective in good lighting conditions and when water surface features are clearly visible. By combining the two, a high measurement capability can be maintained in various environments.
[0029] It should be noted that when calculating water level by taking photos with a water level video recognition camera, calculating flow velocity by taking videos with a flow velocity video recognition camera, and measuring flow velocity with a radar flow meter, control commands can be sent via a remote terminal, or a fixed time point can be set, and the camera and calculation will be performed automatically when the time point is reached.
