Imaging & Analyzing natural and anthropogenic debris transport from river

Nowadays plastic pollution is recognized as an important environmental issue that needs to be addressed globally.
Majority of marine debris come from land-based activities and flow via the river and into the ocean. In view of this, Yachiyo Engineering introduces RIAD or River Image Analysis for Debris Transport, a smart application that enables users to understand the actual situation of floating or riverine debris such as plastics and raise awareness on this environmental issue.

RIAD enables the easier and safer observation of river waste than any other observation tolls.

■No need to build a special environment for analysis
・You just simply upload the recorded video to the cloud and set the initial conditions such as processing range. Image processing is then performed.
■Image processing of river debris with simple operation
・You can monitor on the system that the area transport amount of natural and anthropogenic debris changes over time. In addition, processed data can be downloaded or output as a chart. The system allows you to monitor changes in an area transport volume of natural and anthropogenic debris over time. The processed data can be downloaded and presented as a graph/ chart.
・The processed results of extraction of river debris can viewed on the video.
・Advanced settings such as changing the conditions of extraction of river debris can be supported.
■Safe and reliable way for river debris observation
・It is possible to measure the amount of river debris transported simply by taking a video of the river surface with a camera.
・Compared to the existing observation method of direct sampling, the safety and certainty of the observation method can be greatly improved.
