Water elevation measurements using binary image analysis for 2D hydrodynamic experiments
Description
The data is associated with the following paper: I.D. Hernández, J.V. Hernández-Fontes, M.A. Vitola, M.C. Silva, P.T.T. Esperança (2018): Water elevation measurements using binary image analysis for 2D hydrodynamic experiments. Submitted to Ocean Engineering. The data related to the cases of study (i.e., calibrated image stacks), the software for image processing and analysis (i.e., either the ImageJ portable software with macro scripts or the macro scripts only), and a video tutorial showing how to obtain the water elevation at virtual wave probes using the proposed methodology, are provided. Considerations: The two calibrated image stacks of grayscale-images in multilayer TIFF files are provided with embedded calibration and time of capture in the metadata. For the use of both macro scripts and the embedded information, we recommend the use of ImageJ (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/) or Fiji (https://imagej.net/Fiji) software with versions 1.8 or above.
Files
Steps to reproduce
1. Download the files of study cases and uncompress in a folder. 2. Download either the software or the macro files depending on the operating system requirements. 3. See the video for implementation to track each necessary step to measure the wave elevations. 4. See the ImageJ User Guide (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/guide/) to extend and adapt the present scripts according to your necessities.
