Research on the Development of the Slope Observation Systemwith an Infrared Camera for Night and Winter Season

Adviser Kunio TORII

Observation with the slope observation system that used CCD camera is difficult at night and during the winter season. There is also problem with the influence of the sunlight.

So, it was thought that the observation can be made by using an infrared camera at night and during the winter season. A halogen lamp was used as a target, and an outline extraction was performed, and center of gravity coordinate value was found.

Observation using an infrared camera at night and during the winter season was made possible, where the halogen lamp was used as a target. But, the establishment and removal of the halogen lamp is in a dangerous task. The securing of the power supply for the lamp can also be raised on a problem.
So, trees were selected as target, and a block was used block matching, and a continuous measuring experiment was performed.

And, trees were selected as target, and an observation was made possible by block matching at night and during the winter season as a result. Moreover, observation was made possible without considering the influence of the sunlight.
