3D-vision based environment monitoring and hazard warning system: feasibility study and prototype development DAMON

Abstract (Deutsch)

The main goal of the project is the feasibility study of landslide monitoring system based on 3D-vision. The system is to be used in an environmental monitoring and hazard warning system, e.g. a landslide and dam monitoring system. 3D vision will be achieved through time-of-flight (TOF) measurements to allow 3D reconstruction of objects. The principle is very interesting since it is non-invasive, cheap, reliable, of ease installation, and eye-safe. Suitability of this technology to environmental monitoring will be verified against the application requirements and economics of such system. The technological goal of the project is twofold. First, a light source capable of producing 8 kW of light for a 3 ns long pulse will be developed. Secondly, based on this light source, a telemetric measure of a single target (distance range 1-80m) will then be performed. The experiment will allow the characterisation and validation of the technology for the use in a complete 3D vision system that will be developed in a follow-on project.
