Abstract

This paper presents the results of measuring bed topography through water in mobile-bed laboratory' Humes with two different techniques: structured light and 3D laser scanning. The refraction phenomenon is considered and corrections are applied. Results of this work show that the applicability of the considered measurement techniques for applications in laboratory experiments is restricted to certain How conditions. Improvements in the corrections of the refraction effects and detailed water level measurements are special aspects to consider before implementing laboratory campaigns with such techniques.
