Optical imaging has often been use to take measurements of ocean properties. With the development of new and more efficient methodologies as well as cheaper technology to perform them, it is now possible to perform an advanced analysis in real-time with inexpensive tools. This can help the already existing sensors used to measure the quality of the ocean at any given time for the beach-goers that would like to know such things.
To demonstrate this, we extend the multiwavetracking PythonLibrary which was previously implemented in the GitHub project https://github.com/citrusvanilla/multiplewavetracking_py. In particular, we added parameters to detect
- Wavelength
- Period
- Speed
- Temporal Frequency
Also we modified the approach of measuring waves and refused of detecting potential waves. Uses OpenCV to detect and measure properties of ocean waves. Further work will involve making the calculations more robust and less dependent on predefined parameters.
