Avacam technologies for landslide monitoring with InSAR
Avacam develops advanced landslide monitoring with InSAR (Satellite Radar Interferometry) solutions to enhance safety and prevent natural and infrastructural risks. This technology enables the detection of ground deformations with sub-centimeter accuracy, providing essential data for assessing the stability of slopes, embankments, dams, and linear infrastructures. Through multi-temporal processing of radar images acquired by Sentinel satellites, it is possible to reconstruct historical deformation series dating back to the 1990s and obtain regular updates every 6 days, with global coverage at accessible costs. Our methodologies include multi-temporal InSAR (MT-SBA), ideal for urbanized areas and infrastructures, and the RAINS approach, suitable for natural or sparsely populated regions. This combination ensures accurate and reliable maps, consistent with ground-based measurements, making Avacam’s approach a benchmark for organizations requiring robust data and scientifically sound interpretations.
Applications and benefits of satellite-based landslide monitoring
Avacam’s landslide monitoring with InSAR is an integrated service that combines technological innovation with scientific expertise. Satellite data are processed into vector shapefiles, thematic rasters, and displacement time series, supported by updatable maps and interpretative reports with geological and geomorphological context. This solution is ideal for subsidence assessment, monitoring embankments and dams, observing linear infrastructures, and managing instabilities caused by extreme weather events. Near real-time updates provide continuous information and immediate support for risk mitigation strategies, territorial planning, and rapid intervention in critical situations. With Avacam, public institutions, research centers, and private companies gain access to a reliable and versatile tool to reduce risks and increase territorial resilience.
