Empirical Research on 3D Analysis and Flow Prediction of Upstream Rivers Using Drones

This study aims to develop an AI prediction system for watersheds, utilizing data from Sri Lanka and Vietnam in collaboration with overseas researchers. Initially, a foundational AI prediction system will be constructed, and basic data will be gathered based on river data from Japan. Subsequently, topographic data of the watershed area, managed by the joint research partner institution, will be incorporated into the AI prediction system through drone-based aerial measurement and analysis. Moreover, visits to the joint research institution will be conducted to gather information on water damage and electricity supply. This information will then be integrated into the AI prediction system. Utilizing the collected data and additional observation data, efforts will be made to enhance the accuracy of the AI prediction algorithm, identify potential issues, and overcome them. The ultimate goal is to establish new AI pre-diction technology by comparing the results of this study with both domestic and international research outcomes. This paper will present data from a drone scan of the upstream watershed and discuss the future use of AI based on the results of three-dimensional analysis and image processing.
