Step 1: Flight Planning

A detailed flight plan is generated to allow the drone to take a series of relatively close (<15 meters) photographs of the building surface.

Factors such as airspace, obstacle locations, and mission objectives are considered.

In the picture to the right, each white dot represents one photograph.

Step 2: Data Collection

The drone flies the prescribed plan, taking the necessary imagery. A defect on this building is circled in yellow for clarity.

Step 3: Analysis and Reporting

The imagery is analyzed with advanced computer algorithms to automatically identify and categorize visible defects.

Defects are collected into an easy-to-use PDF that can serve as a checklist for your maintenance team, or archived for future monitoring.
