This study focuses on a significant issue of the environmental monitoring application area, which is the suspended sediment concentration estimation. More specifically, the purpose of the current work is to provide a new non-intrusive way to estimate the suspended sediment (SS) distribution. The proposed methodology uses the color characteristics of river flow images and provides a high correlation factor with the suspended sediment measurements. In our opinion, the importance of the current work derives from the fact that it provides an alternative and effective way of estimating SS distribution rather as opposed to the conventional method that requires human presence, especially if we consider the difficulty of taking measurements of the river pollution during flush flood events when the sediment distribution is increased and is directly related to water quality.
