I received a call from my buddy Francois at NCSU in Raleigh a couple of days ago. It turns out that the GaugeCam project to perform automatic water height measurement with cameras in streams, lakes and other water bodies continues to garner interest. Francois has talked to lots of people who have had very limited success at finding systems that work to do this well, including the two biggest commercial providers in the industry. So, I spent a couple of evenings dusting off the software, upgrading the libraries and creating a new build with functionality we had developed, but never made available. We have decided to work on it again and have some new ideas about what we want to do.

I have written a blog post over at the GaugeCam blog that describes our next steps to accommodate this renewed interest.
