Calibration of residential water meters by using computer vision.

We present an artificial vision based system that quickly and semi-automatically calibrates water meters. The system operates with an artificial neural net architecture which is able to visually read analog needles and dynamically track the float position of a lab rotameter. By using a closed water...

The system operates with an artificial neural net architecture which is able to visually read analog needles and dynamically track the float position of a lab rotameter. By using a closed water flow circuit powered by a low power centrifugal pump, the computer reads through a web camera the water meter needles position, measuring the time required for a full turn and calculating the associated water flow. Simultaneously a second camera tracks the float of a rotameter connected to the water circuit and digitalizes the indicated flow.
