In this paper we show a new technique for measuring waves, based on artificial vision system to replace traditional methods to measure waves in a wave tank consist on expensive sensors and at the same time intrusive techniques. A procedure for obtaining quantitative wave using video images has been developed. The steps include image capture and data extraction with a real-time approach and non-intrusive method. The method is shown to produce good results as compared to more conventional methods of measuring wave in a wave tank experiment and in addition provides a measure of the wave in all the range of the image (as many points of measurement as the number of pixel in x-coordinate of the image).
