Process Monitoring with Computer Vision

Process monitoring with computer vision for water treatment.

ABYSS helps water treatment and wastewater teams review visible process changes from existing camera footage: foaming, turbidity, surface films, liquid-level changes, and flow behavior.

Visual review

Industrial process monitoring camera

Use cameras near tanks, pits, channels, DAF units, and cooling-water areas as a visual review source for process monitoring.

Water treatment video analytics

Surface visible process changes in foam, turbidity, surface films, liquid levels, and flow before deciding alert thresholds.

Bounded validation

ABYSS is a visual signal layer. It should be validated against site footage and combined with sensors when physical measurements are required.

Where it fits

Add a visual layer to the process data operators already use.

Most process monitoring programs already have operators, sensors, alarms, and dashboards. ABYSS adds camera-based evidence for visible changes that are hard to express through one point sensor.

Good starting scenes

  • DAF foam growth and surface behavior
  • Wastewater pit turbidity or color changes
  • Oil-film-like reflection changes
  • Liquid-level and overflow precursors

What needs separate data

  • Exact flow rate, concentration, or water depth
  • Vibration, pressure, and internal equipment state
  • Regulated release decisions without human review
  • Scenes where the target change is not visible

PoC Flow

Validate the process signal before a monitoring rollout.

Review recorded footage

Confirm that normal and abnormal process states are visible from the current camera angle.

Separate usable signals

Check whether lighting, reflection, occlusion, and operating variation allow practical visual review.

Define review operations

Set when operators should review footage, what needs escalation, and which sensor data should be referenced.

Video Validation Package

Scope the first process-monitoring question before sharing footage.

The fastest path from an ad click to a qualified PoC is not a generic product demo. It is a short application meeting to clarify the target process change, the current operator decision, and whether footage can be reviewed after NDA.

Useful footage

A few normal clips, one or two clips with the target change, camera location, time of day, and lighting conditions.

Operator criteria

What the team wants to review: foam growth, turbidity change, level shift, surface film, or flow behavior.

Reference signals

Any sensor, lab, SCADA, inspection, or operator note that helps distinguish true process changes from visual noise.

PoC decision

A clear next step: footage-only validation, a limited site PoC, or a decision that the current camera view is not enough.
