Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Image Processing Equipment for Watershed Analysis

这笔设备补助金是为了改善 自动图像处理能力， 应用于流域水文学研究， 测定保水特性 流域，并估计径流量。 从土壤类型图中提取的数据 分布、地形、降雨 分配和土地使用等 信息，也将用于估计 洪水的潜力。 图像处理 设备将用于教学学生 和培训研究人员，并在实施 算法创新，软件开发 和研究进展。

This equipment grant is to improve the capability for automatic image processing as applied to research in watershed hydrology to determine water retention characteristics of basins, and to estimate runoff production. Data extracted from maps of soil-type distribution, topography, rainfall distribution and land use, among other information, will be used also to estimate the potential of floods. The image processing equipment will be used in teaching students and training researchers, and in implementing algorithmic innovations, software development and research progress.
