Exciting News: NHAZCA’s IRIS Software Showcased in New Research on Rockfall Hazard Monitoring!

🚨 We’re thrilled to announce that NHAZCA’s IRIS software has played a pivotal role in the groundbreaking study, “Automatic Photomonitoring Analysis for Spatiotemporal Evaluation of Rockfall Failure Hazard”, authored by Giandomenico Mastrantoni, Giacomo Santicchia, Antonio Cosentino, Antonio Molinari, Gian Marco Marmoni, and Paolo Mazzanti. It has been published in the journal Engineering Geology with the DOI link https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enggeo.2024.107662.

This innovative research demonstrates the remarkable potential of automated photomonitoring for assessing and predicting rockfall hazards over time.

In this study, IRIS was instrumental in automatically processing and analyzing images, enabling:

  • High-precision detection of rockfall events across both temporal and spatial dimensions
  • Evaluation of spatiotemporal instability patterns in critical rock formations
  • An innovative, real-time hazard monitoring approach that supports data-driven decision-making for risk management

With its ability to process terrestrial imagery with sub-pixel accuracy, IRIS detects even the smallest shifts in rock formations, making it an invaluable tool for natural hazard monitoring. The software’s automated change detection and displacement analysis deliver rapid, actionable insights, ensuring swift responses in high-risk zones.

This research highlights IRIS as a transformative solution for managing geotechnical hazards, offering unmatched insights that enhance safety and mitigate risks in regions prone to rockfall.
