Building Seismic Safety Assessment
Assess any building's earthquake vulnerability using AI computer vision, structural analysis, and historical construction data — without setting foot inside.
Why Building Safety Is Hard to Assess
A building's earthquake resistance depends on construction year, structural system, geometry, and maintenance — but this information is often unavailable to buyers, renters, or even current residents. Traditional structural assessments require expensive engineers and invasive inspections. Meanwhile, buildings with hidden vulnerabilities like soft stories, short columns, or irregular floor plans can collapse in moderate earthquakes while neighbors survive unscathed.
AI Computer Vision Meets Structural Engineering
GeoHunter uses Google Street View imagery to perform a non-invasive facade inspection using computer vision. Our AI detects 8 types of structural defects visible from the exterior: soft stories (open ground floors), irregular floor plans, cantilevered balconies, short columns, adjacent building pounding risk, visible cracks, collapse indicators, and aging facades. Combined with building permit data (year, type, floors), this produces a structural vulnerability score that identifies high-risk buildings.
Key Features
AI Facade Inspection
Computer vision analyzes Street View imagery to detect 8 types of structural defects: soft stories, irregular plans, cantilevered elements, short columns, pounding risk, cracks, collapse signs, and aging indicators.
Resonance Risk Analysis
Compares building's natural period (based on height and type) against the site's dominant ground motion period to identify dangerous resonance scenarios that amplify earthquake forces.
Building Age & Code Compliance
Evaluates whether the building was constructed before or after critical seismic code updates in your region. Pre-code buildings face dramatically higher collapse risk in design-level earthquakes.
Defect Heatmap Visualization
Visual heatmap overlay showing detected structural defects on the building facade, with confidence scores and severity ratings for each finding.
