A more sustainable and intelligent approach is needed to address the important challenge of effective health monitoring of our nation's critical infrastructure [1]. Recent advances in computer vision and image processing techniques may hold the key to a robust, objective, monitoring and assessment pathway that will result in more efficient and rapid management of the spatially distributed levee systems and prioritization of resources. Having near real-time information on possible anomalies and weaknesses of a system is critical as it allows for better understanding and therefore modeling of these part-natural, part-engineered, interdependent human adaptive systems.
