How AI helps prevent landslides

Introduction

Hi everyone, I'm Sabrina, the business developer of AvaCAM.

Remote Monitoring for Landslides: The AvaCAM Solution

We at AvaCAM produce and rent and also sell industrial devices for remote monitoring of landslides. We produce both hardware and software solutions.

Industrial Hardware Designed for Long-Term Deployment

Our hardware are industrial devices, so they do not need any maintenance in the long term. Our devices are resistant in the long term, of course, when we are in a lens light area it is not possible to go there every time, so we have thought about a durable device

Inside there is a data sim card which sends the images to our software to inform each it is possible to see by remote one or more lens lights all together.

and instead of having expensive tools such as a router and satellite images, we provide a real -time monitoring solution, but only with devices and a platform.

Tailored Installations and Plug-and-Play Setup

We specialize in providing a specific solution to each area, so we produce the devices according to the resolution that it is important to have in that specific point of view.

What we do is to send the device directly on site. It is plug -and -play, so it is very, very easy to be installed. With plane and counter -play for the pole, it can be installed with a tripod as here, or on a pole, or on the rocks, on the wall, it depends.

Software Platform and AI-Based Change Detection

What we do within the software is also to map the landslides, and this is where AI comes in our solution.

So AI algorithms are able to identify the changes across time through one picture and the other and as you can see here the more blue it is the area the more the ground has changed over time.

We target public administration, construction companies but also geologists all over the world. We have projects also in Canada for example and only in Italy and Europe.

What we do is a real -time monitoring solution. From our platform it is possible to see one or more lens lights as I said before we go deeper in

Device Options and Platform Overview

the platform right now here is a an example of the device on a pole and here it is the device how it is constructed inside the reason heater can be can have two heaters and there are different also solutions so we could have also solar Solar panel solutions, devices that go from 8 megapixels until 41 megapixels. It depends on how far we are in the landslide solution.

Algorithms, Alerts, and Reporting

By leveraging digital image collaboration algorithms, we enable to detect the changes over time. So we compare different periods of time, the images, and how the pixels change over time. It is applicable on landslides of course but also on rock fails or glacier and structural monitoring and what we do is a complete solution to make the decision making and to send those automatic alerts for landslides risk prevention.

This is an example of the platform so you see more than one landslides all together.

Here is how you can see for example the whole images taken by the device.

It is possible to see the material stats within the platform, the pollution dashboard or we can also introduce other sensors inside.

Here is how this change detection comes from. Here is all the points that you see there are there has been changed and the AI and algorithms are identifying which are the good changes which are the false alarms for example and you can see here

for example the before picture the after picture and the overlay section so you see the differences over time it is okay so you see pending because it is not secure that it is a lens so change detection within the ground.

Within the platform there is also the report automatically see and you see for example the validating and false alarm and when the alerts are sent.

There is also the special detection heat map so the more red is the point is where there are the more changing within the platform and as you can see for For example, here is the most change, and you can see here it is that specific point.

You can see also detection rates and insights across time, how many alarms there has been.

And we do automatic reports with vertical and horizontal displacement analysis, so how the pixel has changed across time.

We can do also time series analysis, so you see where the pixel has been if it works we can go and see no sorry

let's try they can go here okay and you see a time -lapse video where there is also the report and analysis within the time -lapse video so across the time

Field Example: Preventive Road Closure in Northern Italy

Here is a landslide in Crauzetto in the north of Italy and they were able to close the street before the landslide has happened in that specific moment thanks to our solution.

Okay, let's go ahead.

Commercial Model and Product Variants

What we do is to rent and sell also the devices. When we sell the device there is the software abandonment. We

We have also different solutions where AI is applied.

Beyond Landslides: Construction Site Monitoring (Timelapse Lab)

Timelapse Lab is for construction site remote monitoring, also here we have devices for remote monitoring of construction site development and marketing videos.

We work with lots of clients in different sectors like real estate, in the energy sector, in a shipyard, for example, and we target from engineering companies to general construction constructors and construction companies until the marketing department of each solution.

What we do is also here a platform from a single link.

Privacy and Safety Features Powered by AI

You can monitor by remote more construction site and here AI is also used to blur sensitive sensitive data for privacy purposes, such as people, vehicles and external areas are blurred thanks to AI.

This is how, for example, you can see more than one construction site altogether and it works with neural networks that we have trained vertically on construction sites and the AI identifies people, vehicles, areas to count them for the reports or to

to send automatic alerts also for lack of helmets for safety purposes. This is how the privacy software works and we have a certification for that.

Device and Power Configurations

This is mostly the same device, but it is not personalized as well as the one of Avacam.

Here we have also solution with solar panels and it is a smart device.

Compatibility with Existing Camera Systems

Our technology can be applied also to already existing cameras.

Umaral: A Public-Facing “Netflix” for Construction Progress

And the last section that we have is Umaral, which comes from the Italian word umaral, which is the old guy that goes in front of the construction site and looks at them like this.

But we have made a web platform, so there is the gadget also with the hand in the hand, where it is like a Netflix of the construction site and it is possible to make them see the development of the works

Conclusion

by remote by a Netflix platform so thank you very much for your attention and here we are
