ABOUT IRIS

IRIS, developed by NHAZCA, is the PhotoMonitoring platform that implements advanced image-processing algorithms for the monitoring of ground and structural displacements and changes.

IRIS is conceived to work with terrestrial, aerial and satellite imagery of any datatype (Optical, Thermal, Near-Infrared), reaching subpixel accuracy in displacement monitoring. Processing runs on NHAZCA’s servers: results are explored from any browser, with no software to install and no dedicated workstation.

A free account gives access to the demo projects and to 3D point cloud analysis; monitoring services and research licences are quoted on request (plans and pricing). The free GSD Calculator helps you plan the camera setup before deployment.

CHARACTERISTICS

The platform is organized in modules, with particular attention to the main functions:

Data sources:
  • IP cameras and webcams (RTSP, HLS, MJPEG, HTTP snapshots)
  • time-lapse DSLRs and camera systems already installed on site
  • drone surveys and satellite imagery
  • SFTP/HTTPS archives and cloud storage, with batch processing of historical archives
Processing:
  • automatic co-registration and lighting normalization of every image
  • change detection
  • displacement analysis (Digital Image Correlation)
  • multi-temporal displacement analysis
  • area-of-interest statistics and ground-scale calibration

Validation and alerting:
  • multi-interval comparisons with confidence scoring
  • optional expert validation by NHAZCA before delivery
  • alerts via dashboard, email or API
  • automatic escalation of critical findings
Results and reporting:
  • before/after viewer with highlighted change maps
  • downloadable evidence packages
  • displacement time-series and trend reports
  • searchable audit trail of every event
  • multi-site management with team access
3D analysis:
  • M3C2 point cloud comparison between two epochs
  • volumetric change maps, volumes and surfaces
  • browser-based 3D viewer with shareable results
