Thermal inspection consists of Thermography or thermal imaging which is the study of heat distribution. This allows you to visually detect faults or losses, which may otherwise go undetected. By catching faults early you can prevent problems from developing into serious issues . A UAV or drone mounted camera for thermal imaging is used in a large variety of thermal inspections

Thanks to great accuracy in drones navigation systems, computing performance and onboard photographic sensors, aerial photogrammetry by drone is highly performant and allows for precision drone mapping, whatever the size of the terrain. Cheaper than using manned aircraft, drone mapping provide professional grade aerial surveys and inspections, enabling precision measurement of distances, surface areas and volumes, as well as centimetre detailed imaging. Drone mapping also allows to easily create 3D models that can be rotated over 360 degrees on all axis to achieve a unique point of view of the photographed buildings, artwork, structures, quarries, bridges, roads etc.

Getting detailed and accurate rooftop measurements is important for a variety of applications. Perhaps you work for a construction firm. You may need detailed diagrams of the roof with accurate measurements of the ridges, valleys, hips, eaves, and a clear visual understanding of where vent pipes and chimneys are located on the roof.

You could also be performing a rooftop inspection and need to properly assess a damaged area for an accurate estimate for repair. Or perhaps you need to calculate the area of your roof to estimate the cost of getting it re-shingled.
