By incorporating additional information that are captured and collected by volunteers with help of their smartphones (Volunteered Geographic Information, VGI), flood forecasting systems can be improved and forecast uncertainties can be minimized. This paper presents and discusses different concepts and methods for measuring relevant hydrological parameters with mobile smartphone sensors. In this context, the focus is on describing various image-based approaches for water gauge measurements.de004conference paper
