Abstract :
In this paper, an integrated water turbidity detection†. method on dam gate is proposed. Based on multi-spectral image analysis and the transmitted power analysis of immersed optical fiber, the quality of water used for waterpower generator can be inspected automatically thus to protect the power generator from damage due to silt. Experimental results show that the proposed method works successfully and efficiently and can be practically applied to the examined dams. Therefore, it acts as a remote monitoring system on dam gate which locates on solitude place thus supports considerable economic benefits and contributions.
