Drought damage mapped across an 8.8-hectare field.

242 photographs, captured in under five minutes with the DJI Matrice 4T, produced a 3D model, an elevation map and a VARI map of the field. Bare ground, dry spots and dead areas were then pinned on the model and rated by severity.

Construction · Site inspection January 2026

A wet construction site, measured and logged in one visit.

Nineteen photographs, captured in under a minute and a half, became a 3D model of the whole site. The piles were measured for volume, and each hazard and job still to do was pinned to its place on the model with a severity rating.

Property · Holiday cottage December 2024

A holiday cottage, measured from its 3D model.

449 photographs, captured in just over half an hour, built a detailed 3D model of the cottage and its grounds. The wall height, the extension roof, the patio and the driveway were then measured straight from the model.

Construction · Barn build November 2025

A barn site measured from twelve photographs.

Twelve photographs, captured in under two minutes, gave a measurable 3D model of the plot: the barn's footprint and driveway, the boundary lines, the earth to move, and what else on site would affect the work.
