Introduction

pyOpenRiverCam in a nutshell

pyOpenRiverCam is a Command-line interface and Application Programming Interface (API) to preprocess, reproject, and analyze videos of rivers, in order to estimate river flows. Below we provide an overview of all functionalities in a nutshell:

Feature	Example
Create geographical awareness of your videos using your own field observations
Work with, and pre-process video frames
Enhance frames to improve visibility of tracers
Reproject frames to metres- distance planar views
Enhance gradients for improved feature detection
Estimate flow velocity at the water surface using Particle Image Velocimetry.
Estimate river discharge over a supplied cross-section. Use smart functions to fill missing data.
Plot combined views in immersive local, geographical or camera perspectives.
