Photomonitoring™ for Landslides
Photomonitoring™ is a low-cost monitoring solution based on the analysis of images acquired by different sensors and platforms (e.g. smartphones, fixed cameras, UAV, airplanes, satellites) at different times thanks to Advanced Digital Image Processing techniques developed by NHAZCA.
Multiple sensors and platforms
Photomonitoring™ is featured by a high flexibility thanks to the possibility to use data coming from different sensors and platforms as input data allowing sub-pixel accuracy in displacements monitoring.

Software
Photomonitoring™ is based on a set of advanced image processing algorithms (e.g. digital image correlation and change detection) implemented in the IRIS software developed by NHAZCA to enable this technology for automatic monitoring applications also in complex outdoor environments.
Early warning
Photomonitoring™ represent an ideal technique for landslide monitoring where processes need to be analysed with different acquisition frequencies (e.g. low, near real-time, real time) according to their dynamic behaviour.
Near real-time and real-time acquisition frequencies allow an early warning approach, that is fundamental for critical sites and infrastructure management.
Advantages
Cost reductions thanks to the possibility of monitoring by low-cost sensors data as input for the analysis.
Fundamental for critical sites and infrastructure management.
