RIVET uses computer vision and water-quality sensors to investigate suspicious changes in waterways, verify evidence, and generate traceable environmental incident reports.

Inspiration

Environmental changes in waterways can go unnoticed when monitoring depends on isolated measurements or occasional inspections. We wanted to explore how computer vision and intelligent investigation could help identify suspicious changes and direct attention toward situations that need further examination.

What it does

RIVET (Environmental Incident Investigator) is a proposed system that combines OpenCV-based video analysis with water-quality sensor readings. It aims to detect unusual changes, compare visual evidence with sensor measurements, investigate uncertainty through additional analysis, and generate traceable incident reports.

How we built it

The planned prototype uses Python and OpenCV to analyse video over time.…
