Researchers at The University of Queensland have developed a tool that uses advanced 3D stereo computer vision, machine-learning and cloud analytics to measure water height and velocity. This automated system provides real-time water monitoring during natural disasters and has been licensed to a US-based company, Xylem Water Solutions. The tool has a range of applications, from flood risk and human safety to quantifying water resources and understanding pollutants. It is already in use across Queensland, the Murray-Darling Basin, Tasmania, New Zealand, Europe and the US.
