Monitored Alarm Systems

You 'd just need a smartphone app on every pothole on the block to locate, but the map more serious structural damage, you' d probably need more sophisticated equipment - what, where Topcon 's IP S2 Lite comes in is. Unveiled at last week 's 3D & Virtual Reality Expo in Tokyo, is the road to assess the system of a 360-degree camera, GPS and an inclinometer together. After using his camera takes pictures at 16 frames per second, the IP-S2 analyzed the properties of each shot, and uses this information to create 3D video footage. The apparatus can also measure the height, distance and area of ??a given frame, so that engineers insert computer-generated images in the video (shown above) and establish a more accurate maps of the affected regions. As part of the \ in this year's devastating earthquake, for example, Japan 's use Geospatial Information Authority this technology to the coastal areas of Miyagi prefecture, so that officials and rescue workers a better idea of ??the damage inflicted on the region map. You can find out more about the IP-S2 in the video after the break.
