IRIS M™ – Motion Amplification®

The Iris M™ is changing the way companies monitor billions of dollars worth of plant machinery, process lines, structures and other plant assets. The Iris M uses RDI Technologies’ proprietary Motion Amplification® software to detect subtle movement and convert that movement to a level visible with the naked eye. By turning every pixel in the camera into a sensor, Iris M takes millions of measurements in a fraction of a second and it does this with no physical connection to your machinery or equipment. For the first time ever, you will be able to quickly and easily see and communicate what is invisible to the naked eye and transition to analysis and root cause problem solving.

The IRIS M™ includes:

High speed registration camera
Lenses
USB power and transmission cable
Tripod
Durable suitcase
Industrial tablet
Vibration damper
Software license.

How Does Motion Amplification® Work?

RDI’s patented technology measures deflection, displacement, movement and vibration not visible to the human eye. We utilize video camera technology in conjunction with our software and processing algorithms to extract meaningful data. This technology turns every pixel in the camera’s view into a sensor capable of measuring vibration or motion with high levels of accuracy. The results lend themselves to a visualization of the motion. We can measure and quantify any structural assets that a camera can see. Motion Amplification™ is a proprietary video processing algorithm that detects subtle motion then amplifies that motion to a level visible with the naked eye which enhances the understanding of the components and interrelationships creating the motion.

Why is Visualization So Important?

Visualization is key to determining faults in machinery, infrastructure, and human performance. You can look at numbers and analysis from tools like accelerometers, strain gauges, modeling software, or even our own patented optical sensing technology and still not be able to visualize what the problem is. Sometimes just being able to see what is happening can change your perspective completely and allow for a more targeted and cost effective approach to fault analysis. There are tools to magnify an image or to offer point measurements on a machine or piece of infrastructure, but no real way to see what is happening live and over the whole asset until now. RDI offers the first non-invasive, simple, and cost effective way to visualize what is happening beyond what you can see with your eye. We aren’t guessing at the motion or adding in artifacts, you are seeing the true microscopic motions of any object in the field of view.
