4DSkin

Using advanced radar‑based technology, 4DSkin provides high‑resolution, real‑time tracking of thousands of measurement points across wide areas, even in difficult or inaccessible terrain.

The 4DSkin system provides high‑precision, non‑contact deformation monitoring over expansive areas extending several miles, capturing data at frequent intervals (typically every 2 minutes) with accuracy approaching 0.008 inches. This advanced radar‑based technology is engineered for long‑range, high‑resolution tracking of subtle ground and structural changes, even in challenging or inaccessible locations.

 

 

4DSkin and Its Applications

4DSkin provides millimetric monitoring of rock instabilities (excluding vegetated areas) and large, critical structures, including:

 

  • Landslides
  • Hillsides and cliffs
  • Open‑pit mines
  • Dams

 

Its ability to capture subtle ground and structural movement over wide areas makes 4DSkin a powerful tool for geotechnical and environmental risk management.

4DSkin: Contactless Deformation Measurement

4DSkin remotely measures thousands of data points simultaneously without requiring physical access to the monitored zone. Accuracy typically ranges from 0.004 inches to a few hundredths of an inch for targets located up to 1.9–2.5 miles away, and performance remains consistent regardless of weather conditions.

The system generates full‑area displacement maps and time‑series graphs that track the evolution of each pixel over time.

Key Performance Characteristics

  • Measurement accuracy from 0.004 inches to a few hundredths of an inch at distances up to 1.9–2.5 miles
  • Sub‑hundredth‑of‑an‑inch resolution
