Photomonitoring™ by NHAZCA

Transform your camera into a
geotechnical and structural monitoring system

PhotoMonitoring is the advanced platform developed by NHAZCA for the analysis and control of land, structures and infrastructures.

PhotoMonitoring platform has been created in response to the growing need of real-time and low-cost monitoring solutions, and is capable to use any source of images available, acquired by cameras installed on terrestrial, aerial and satellite platforms.

This fast-growing dataset of images acquired over portion of land and infrastructures in recent years is, in many cases, already freely available and easily accessible, thanks to the widespread use of consumer photographic equipment, and holds a huge potential as base for our analysis and monitoring of surficial changes and displacements.

PhotoMonitoring is based on a set of advanced image-processing algorithms that we combined in IRIS, the platform completely developed by NHAZCA. IRIS runs on NHAZCA’s servers and is conceived to analyze data acquired from any type of platform and sensor, and offers the following features:
  • Data acquisition from any image source: IP cameras and webcams (RTSP, HLS, MJPEG, HTTP snapshots), time-lapse DSLRs, drone and satellite imagery, SFTP/HTTPS archives
  • Displacement analysis, up to millimeter accuracy with Digital Image Correlation algorithms
  • Change Detection analysis, with before/after evidence for every detected change
  • Multi-temporal analysis with displacement time-series
  • 3D point cloud comparison (M3C2) with volumetric change maps, directly in the browser
  • Automatic processing: image alignment, lighting normalization, confidence scoring
  • Near real-time analysis: results and alerts within minutes from image acquisition, via dashboard, email or API
  • Browser-based: no software to install, no dedicated workstation

NHAZCAM, CUSTOMIZED HARDWARE

NHAZCAM is the NHAZCA camera station for photomonitoring. Sensor, optics, power supply (grid or solar panel) and image transmission are chosen for each site, and NHAZCA field engineers design and commission the installation. NHAZCAM is available for purchase or rental.

PhotoMonitoring can also be coupled with other tools, from ad-hoc sensors (e.g. thermal cameras) to commercial-grade cameras (e.g. DSLR, IP cameras). All these devices are designed to continuously acquire reliable and comparable data and, thanks to rugged and weatherproof housing, to work in any type of environment, such as construction sites, remote areas and industrial zones.
