Abstract

The method for determining bedload motion direction and speedbased on aquatic environment video processing is described. The existing image processing methods for determining the motion speed of objectsis are estimated. The results of experiments for bedload sediment velocimetry obtained by laboratory and full-scale tests are presented. The applicability of the existing image processing methods and photo and video recording technical means forbedload sediment velocimetry is estimated.
