Public Summary Month 10/2012

This document reports the progress of the RIVERWATCH experiment from week 25 to week 32.

 

Most of the tasks have progressed smoothly.

At the time of writing this report, Uninova received the prefunding what allowed to start contacting the suppliers regarding the order of several components essential to the project.

In Task 3 we are developing a water-land segmentation process that exploits a priori knowledge of the shoreline pose, extracted from overhead imagery. To attain this goal, we have previously reported a preliminary step, namely the segmentation of the sky region from the rest of the image. Motivated by the work of Achar et al. (2011), we have developed a mechanism, during the current reporting period, for the generation of training data from the sky/non-sky segmentation process.

In task 4 the work in the simulation environment proceeded as well as the USV vision based detector.
