Abstract

Hydro dams are very important economical and social structures that have a great impact on the population living in surrounding area. Surveillance of dam status consists of a complex process which involves data acquisition and analysis techniques, implying measurements from sensors and transducers and visual inspection. To enhance the visual inspection process made by experts, we propose a computer vision technique that will allow assessment and quantification of water infiltrations inside the dam wall, based on infrared and visible spectrum image analysis and data fusion techniques.
