Next: #2 Extracting Metadata from Images
This is the second in a series of videos I am creating of the research I am performing under the direction of University of Nebraska Lincoln Professor Troy Gilmore to determine whether we can use images taken at the weir on North Platte River at the Nebraska-Wyoming State Line to replicate measurements of discharge and stage by extracting features from the images and using measurements from USGS sensors as ground truth.
My not yet official PhD adviser at University of Nebraska Lincoln is Troy Gilmore. We have been talking via video chat and trading lots of emails in anticipation of getting started after the first of the year. To get a jump on it before I start, Troy has provided me with images of a weir on North Platte River at the Nebraska-Wyoming State Line. He directed me to get started on the infrastructure needed to calculate features from the images that are well suited for use to build a classifier using a Machine Learning model. The first thing he believes we need is a tool to view the images, zoom in and out, load and save images and results, etc. This is the first pass at that. I am sure this application will evolve greatly by the time we are done, but this is our starting place.
