Using advanced computing techniques for image-based monitoring [2024 INV#WO0000000109674]
Description
Provide tools and methods for leveraging image-based monitoring and machine learning approaches for measuring surface water properties.
Detailed example
Auto-labeled imagery for use in training ML models; Pre-trained models for determining water level elevation; Enhanced video files for computation of surface velocities; Auto-generated ice-affected data qualifiers
AI / analytics pattern
Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.
Automation level / stage
a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.
Expected benefit
USGS Water Mission Area improvements in operational efficiencies and reduction in safety incidents with application of image-based monitoring techniques and methods. Enhance data portfolio and provide new data types to stakeholders at reduced cost
