PhotoMonitoring™ is an advanced monitoring technology developed by NHAZCA for analysis and control of property and assets.
PhotoMonitoring™ was developed in response to the growing need for real-time land and structure monitoring solutions. This system is based on the analysis of images acquired by various ground, airborne and satellite sensors and platforms.
The photographic heritage, in many cases already available or easily acquired thanks to the now widespread use of consumer photographic equipment, offers enormous potential for your analysis and professional activities.
This new survey methodology is based on a set of advanced image processing algorithms, such as digital image correlation and change detection, to detect changes and displacements with sub-pixel accuracy.
PhotoMonitoring™ is an innovative remote sensing technique for the analysis and monitoring of land, structures and infrastructure that can be applied in a variety of contexts.
Specifically, this technology can be applied to
Benefits
PhotoMonitoring™ does not require the installation of targets or other objects within the context of interest.
The technology moves from point data to spatial data for a detailed and comprehensive view of structural deformation.
PhotoMonitoring™ makes it possible to obtain detailed maps of the distribution and frequency of collapse phenomena, supporting the definition of appropriate preventive or defensive measures, improving safety in areas at risk and promoting a better understanding of the dynamics of rock collapse.
The system can be configured for full remote management.
Benefits
PhotoMonitoring™ for landslide rapid mapping is an innovative, relatively cost-effective solution for monitoring the stability of a slope or escarpment affected by landslide events.
Using strategically placed cameras, the system captures high-resolution images from one or more observation points to monitor ground movement and map changes over time.
As a result, this non-invasive method provides a timely and detailed assessment of ground changes, detecting deformations and relevant movements through advanced digital image processing.
Benefits
IRIS ingests images from virtually any source:
And it returns results built for decisions and for technical scrutiny:
CARE is an innovative system designed and developed by NHAZCA to support PhotoMonitoring™.
CARE’s technology enables precise repositioning of the photo sensor, minimizing processing errors and ensuring unparalleled reliability of results. Designed to work with any type of camera, from industrial sensors to smartphones, CARE is a suitable and reliable tool for periodic inspections of soils and structures.
Reliability, versatility, real-time analysis: these are just some of the benefits of PhotoMonitoring™ technology. Here’s what you get when you choose NHAZCA’s land and structure monitoring service.
The applications of NHAZCA’s PhotoMonitoring™ are many and varied, ranging from natural hazard management, such as landslide and flood monitoring, to civil engineering, where it is critical for monitoring infrastructure such as roads and tunnels.
It is also a valuable tool in land use planning, helping public agencies and private companies make more informed land management decisions.
PhotoMonitoring™ has the great advantage of overcoming some of the typical limitations of traditional topographic approaches. This technology does not require the installation of targets or objects in the study area and provides maps of movement and displacement of visible portions.
With a fixed observation point, the system eliminates the uncertainty of repositioning the instrument for subsequent acquisitions and can be configured for full remote management, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
