Capture. Process. Visualize.
End-to-end aerial survey pipeline. On-device image quality validation, DJI-compatible metadata, RTK precision, dataset export to any processing tool, and a Studio viewer for 3D reconstruction. 18 supported data formats. Not locked to any single tool.
Pipeline
Four stages. Zero lock-in.
1. Capture
On-device quality validation scores every image for blur, exposure, overlap, and GPS accuracy on a 0-100 scale. Coverage tracker maintains a real-time grid showing surveyed area with gap detection. GSD calculator continuously computes ground sample distance from altitude. Pre-capture validation checks GPS accuracy and attitude stability before triggering. All 4 behaviors are CPU-only and work on any board.
2. Export
Packages datasets in 4 target formats. ODM-compatible (ready for WebODM). COLMAP format with cameras.txt and images.txt. nerfstudio format with transforms.json for gaussian splatting. Generic GPS CSV for any tool. One-click export from the ground control station or REST API.
3. Process
Delegates to external tools. Primary: WebODM (open-source, free, REST API integration). Also: COLMAP for structure-from-motion, nerfstudio for NeRF and gaussian splatting. Commercial: Pix4D, DJI Terra, Metashape. ADOS captures and exports. You choose how to process.
4. Visualize
Studio tab in Mission Control (coming soon). Point clouds up to 100M+ points with progressive level-of-detail. 60fps gaussian splat rendering. Orthomosaic overlay on map. Digital elevation models with contour lines. Coverage analysis. PDF report generation.
Not locked to any processing tool. Capture with ADOS. Process with anything.
