Abstract

This paper proposes a new idea for aqueduct leakage monitoring based on an image processing method. The method is expected to effectively monitor the leakage of aqueduct and liberate workers from laborious and repetitive patrol along the aqueduct. A preliminary experiment is arranged in which a building wall is selected to simulate side face of an aqueduct and some water is poured on it to simulate leakage. Thus, the image processing is feasible for the soaking area identification. In the experiment, about 0.5 m2 soaking area that is 50 m away from the camera is correctly identified. The image processing and video monitoring method is introduced to the aqueduct leakage monitoring, which lays a good foundation for engineering application of the real-time aqueduct leakage monitoring. Some detailed problems and the field test will be conducted in further research.
