Local operator

Our minimum role in video monitoring projects typically involves the design of the camera configuration, on-site installation of the cameras and the field computer, set up of the communication infrastructure, installation of the archive computer at the clients office, set up of the Argus data base and remote support on data collection for the duration of the contract. Image quality control, standard post-processing and data analysis and interpretation are available on request. A suite of licensed, operational tools for image post-processing and analysis is available, including tools for:

• geo-referencing and Argus database management;
• image rectification and merging (panoramic and plan view);
• generating movies (oblique images and merges);
• inclusion and use of support data (tide and wave data);
• shoreline mapping and shoreline analysis;
• quantification of intertidal beach bathymetry.

Due to our liaison with Oregon State University, state-of-the-art technology is continuously being embedded in our operational video analysis system. Practical experience is disseminated towards clients by means of training, workshops and intensive contacts throughout a project.
