AI combines cameras and LiDAR to flag unstable rock slopes before they collapse

Merzmensch · x · 2026-10-26

High-res cameras capture cracks and loose rock up close while LiDAR builds a detailed 3D terrain map; AI reads both and flags unstable areas. Repeat scans catch changes a human eye would miss.

The real win: engineers can inspect deadly slopes without sending anyone onto them. It can't predict the exact moment rocks fall, but earlier warning buys time to act.
