A large image repository is obtained from about 50,000 m sewers to represent the high variability of real world sewer systems. Automatic image processing combines Canny edge detection, Hough transform for straight lines and cost minimization using Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. Assuming that flow lines are mostly smoothly connected horizontal structures, piecewise flow line delineation is reduced to a process of selecting adjacent line candidates. Costs are derived from the gap between adjacent candidates and their reliability. A single parameter α enables simple control of the algorithm. The detected flow line may precisely follow the segmented edges (α = 0.0) or minimize gaps at joints (α = 1.0). Both, manual and ground truth-based analysis indicate that α = 0.8 is optimal and independent of the sewer's material. The algorithm forms an essential step to further automation of sewer inspection.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GanegedaraAlahakoonMashfordetal.2012, author = {Ganegedara, H. and Alahakoon, D. and Mashford, J. and Paplinski, A. and M{\"u}ller, Karsten and Deserno, T.

Mathematical approaches have been developed by analytical, physical and numerical models within the past 120 years. During the past 10 years, the number of research investigations has increased due to improved measurement techniques as well as significantly increased computer memories and performances. In this context, the present research deals with the initial stage of two-dimensional dam-break waves by comparing physical and numerical model results as well as analytical approaches. High-speed images and resulting particle image velocimetry calculations are thereby compared with the numerical volume-of-fluid (VOF) method, included in the commercial code FLOW-3D. Wave profiles and drag forces on placed obstacles are analysed in detail. Generally, a good agreement between the laboratory and VOF results is found.}, language = {en} } @article{Bung2011, author = {Bung, Daniel B.}, title = {Developing flow in skimming flow regime on embankment stepped spillways}, series = {Journal of hydraulic research}, volume = {Vol. 49}, journal = {Journal of hydraulic research}, number = {Iss. 5}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London}, issn = {1814-2079 (E-Journal); 0022-1686 (Print)}, pages = {639 -- 648}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Bung2011, author = {Bung, Daniel B.}, title = {Non-intrusive measuring of air-water flow properties in self-aerated stepped spillway flow}, series = {Balance and uncertainty - water in a changing world : proceedings of the 34th IAHR world congress ; 33rd Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium ; 10th Conference on Hydraulics in Water Engineering ; 26 June - 1 July 2011, Brisbane, Australia}, booktitle = {Balance and uncertainty - water in a changing world : proceedings of the 34th IAHR world congress ; 33rd Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium ; 10th Conference on Hydraulics in Water Engineering ; 26 June - 1 July 2011, Brisbane, Australia}, organization = {International Association for Hydraulic Engineering and Research}, isbn = {978-0-85825-868-6}, pages = {2380 -- 2387}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AhmedSchlenkhoffBung2011, author = {Ahmed, H. and Schlenkhoff, A. and Bung, Daniel B.}, title = {Hydrodynamic characteristics of vertical slotted wall breakwaters}, series = {Balance and uncertainty - water in a changing world : proceedings of the 34th IAHR world congress ; 33rd Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium ; 10th Conference on Hydraulics in Water Engineering ; 26 June - 1 July 2011, Brisbane, Australia}, booktitle = {Balance and uncertainty - water in a changing world : proceedings of the 34th IAHR world congress ; 33rd Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium ; 10th Conference on Hydraulics in Water Engineering ; 26 June - 1 July 2011, Brisbane, Australia}, organization = {International Association for Hydraulic Engineering and Research}, isbn = {978-0-85825-868-6}, pages = {1179 -- 1186}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BungOertelSchlenkhoffetal.2010, author = {Bung, Daniel B. and Oertel, M. and Schlenkhoff, A. and Schlurmann, Torsten}, title = {Flash flood awareness and prevention in Germany}, series = {Early warning for flash floods : international workshop, Praha 2011 : workshop proceedings}, booktitle = {Early warning for flash floods : international workshop, Praha 2011 : workshop proceedings}, editor = {Obrusnik, Ivan}, organization = {Czech Hydrometeorological Institute}, isbn = {978-80-86690-91-9}, pages = {34 -- 40}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{DoeringKendrickLawson2013, author = {D{\"o}ring, Bernd and Kendrick, C. and Lawson, R.
