Question 1

What is the resolution and output of 3D render videos?

Accepted Answer

The video format is full HD (1920 x 1080). The video will be delivered as an mp4 file, encoded using the MPEG-4 AAC, H.264 codec.  The original file size is mainly related to the length of the video. The resolution and format chosen ensure a high quality for the video.  Note that based on the platform you use to host the video, it might get compressed and lose quality. We recommend you to check the video quality on your own device first; if you see a quality difference after uploading it to a platform you will know the loss comes from the platform.

These factors include the type of equipment used, the desired deliverables, the level of expertise and certifications of the drone operator, and the location of the project.

Question 18

What is Photogrammetry?

Accepted Answer

Photogrammetry is a sophisticated mapping method that involves capturing a series of overlapping images of the target area from different angles. This method is used to create high-resolution 3D models or maps, which can provide valuable insights into terrain and structures. The images captured during the photogrammetry process are processed using specialized software that analyzes the common features within each image to create a 3D model that accurately represents the target area.

Question 19

How long does it take to process drone mapping images?

Accepted Answer

After the drone captures high-resolution images of the target area, the processing of this data to create a high-quality map can take several hours, particularly for large jobs. On average, it takes approximately one minute to process each image. Once the processing is complete, you will receive an email notification with instructions on how to access and utilize the final map.  It's important to note that the time required for processing may vary depending on various factors, such as the size and complexity of the area being mapped and the software used for processing. However, it's worth investing the necessary time and resources to ensure that your final map is accurate, detailed, and reliable.

Question 20

What is 3D drone mapping used for?

Accepted Answer

Question 21

How does aerial mapping work?

Accepted Answer

The creation of drone maps involves a sophisticated algorithm that stitches together hundreds or even thousands of photos by matching common features and overlapping them. GPS metadata from each photo is then utilized to accurately align the resulting image with its real-world location.

Question 22

What is the best height to fly at for drone mapping?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to drone mapping, the height at which you fly your drone can have a significant impact on the quality and accuracy of the resulting data. While there are different flight settings available, the optimal height for your mission largely depends on the camera being used.  To ensure that you obtain high-quality data with maximum detail and accuracy, it's generally recommended to start your mission at a height of around 200 feet. From there, you can gradually lower the height of your drone in 10-15 foot increments, taking care not to fly too low and risk crashing or missing important details.  By adjusting the height of your drone during the mapping process, you can capture more detailed imagery and ensure that your final map is accurate and reliable. It's also important to consider other factors such as lighting conditions, weather, and wind when planning your mission. With careful planning and execution, drone mapping can be a highly effective tool for businesses and organizations across various industries.

Our comprehensive data collection enables us to make accurate comparisons between multiple roof conditions and assess areas in need of attention or improvement.

Question 62

What are the best conditions for an Aerial Infrared Roof Moisture Survey?

Accepted Answer

The roof should be dry at sunrise; no rain before or during the survey; temperatures of over 40°F in daytime, and winds less than 15 mph to ensure optimal weather compliance. Finally, it should also be mostly sunny on the day of inspection.

Question 63

What are the advantages of performing a Roof Survey from the surface?

Precise moisture probes can be conducted during the survey to efficiently identify affected areas on the rooftop.   Outlining these zones physically on the surface allows for swift and accurate decision making when dealing with potential damage on-site.

Question 64

How does an Aerial Infrared Roof Moisture Survey work?

Accepted Answer

Through solar energy absorption, roof systems experience a uniform heat distribution during the day. As evening approaches and temperatures begin to drop off quicker in areas with moisture retention – referred to as thermal anomalies - are identified by examining temperature patterns detected through thermography testing.   To further confirm potential problem areas, a RGB image taken of affected sections of the roof surface that indicate there is no obstructions or liquid on the surface.   Areas of concern are marked on GIS for reference before compiling all findings into an accessible hardcopy or digital report format.
