Water Surface Level Estimation Based on the Fast Segment Anything Model for Coastal Monitoring Systems
摘要
Coastal erosion is a significant issue driven by various factors, including rising sea levels, human activities, and natural processes. This paper proposes a method to estimate the surface level using FastSAM, a convolutional neural network (CNN) designed for segmentation tasks. By using a point prompt, the model identifies the mask of the gauge and converts it to water surface level by counting the amount of the pixel height of the mask. The effectiveness of this method was evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient. The proposed method was evaluated using data collected from a natural environment, Moonlight beach, Thailand. Compared to pressure sensor data, the proposed method achieve an RMSE of 0.7 cm and a correlation coefficient of 0.92. Additionally, when tested against manual observation of 3,000 images, the RMSE is 1.0 cm, with a correlation coefficient of 0.97. These indicate the promising potential of the proposed method in applying for coastal erosion monitoring systems.
