Why Analytics Matter

Raw images are useful.

Analyzed images are powerful.

Our analytics workflows help clients:

Catch problems earlier

  • Detect thermal anomalies,
  •  moisture intrusions,
  •  stress regions 
  • and structural issues.

Understand land, terrain, and assets

  • Elevation models 
  • 3D data reveal slopes,
  •  drainage
  • and site dynamics.

Quantify conditions, not guess

  • Measurements,
  • Classifications 
  • Volumetrics 
  • provide objective numbers.

Make better operational and financial decisions

  • Turn imagery into real ROI — not just documentation.

Compare changes over time

  • Track progress,
  •  identify trends, 
  • detect deviations from plans.

Analytics Benefits

3D Modeling & Visualization

  • Using advanced photogrammetry and emerging 3D modeling methods:
  • High-detail 3D meshes
  • True-color point clouds
  • Gaussian splat 3D visualizations 
    (next-generation 3D)
  • Terrain texture mapping
  • Asset modeling for engineering and planning
  • These methods allow clients to “walk through” or evaluate a site digitally from any angle.

Advanced Change Detection

  • Ideal for construction, environmental monitoring, and asset management.
  • Compare site conditions across multiple dates
  • Identify new developments, excavation, grading, or damage
  • Detect vegetation growth or decay
  • Highlight deviations from plans

Custom Analysis & Machine Learning Integration

  • For large or complex datasets, we offer deeper data science support:
  • Object detection (roofs, equipment, livestock, vehicles, features)
  • Anomaly detection workflows
  • Pattern recognition in multispectral 
    or thermal data
  • Custom Python analytics pipelines
  • Automated reporting templates
  • Dataset classification and segmentation
