1 Experimental Study of Sediment Transport in Vegetated and Meandering Channels Jon Schmidt Mentor: Dr. Jennifer Duan Department of Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics Arizona Space Grant Symposium Tempe, AZ 17 April 2015 1

2 Temporal Geomorphology Location: Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range (BMGR) Meandering Systems and Alluvial Fans Devegetation  Erosion 5000m300m 2

3 Objective Conduct a temporal geomorphological analysis to forecast bed movement using remote monitoring and numerical methods in order to provide BMGR with rehabilitative and preventative road maintenance solutions. Fig. 1 Area of interest showing channelization across road 3

4 Our Response Stereoscopic Digital Elevation Modeling (DEM) – Close and Long Range Camera Theory – Pinhole Model/2D imaging of a 3D world Figs 1-1, 12-5, OpenCV Learning, (Bradley & Kaehler) 4

5 Camera Apparatus Weatherproof Energy Efficient Field of View 5 Camera WindowAccess holes and Solar Panel

6 Disparity Mapping (Close Range) + Left Right Disparity Map L/R image pairs produce one disparity map representing 3D space 6

7 Disparity Mapping (Long Range) Excessive ‘noise’ due to: Surface Roughness Camera Quality 7

8 Conclusions & Future Work Inverse proportionality of accuracy and range, and high-order indeterminacy due to camera parameters and distortions make extremely precise DEMs impractical for application on large spatial, and temporal, scales. Interpolation using a physical grid of reference markers is adequate for our application and for projects with similar intents and parameters. 8
