Asseti is a powerful data platform that consumes geolocated data of all types. Under our agile CI/CD approach to product development, we’re progressively layering new data types for drawing increasingly complex insights and modelling.
A key dataset type is aerial imagery, which Asseti auto-processes to 3D models. These models are incredibly useful for operational asset managers looking for condition changes and repair issues, taking measurements (for example, to determine how much paint is required for a building) and planning future developments.
We’ve developed a best practice aerial capture guide to optimize the production of high-quality 3D models. A series of flight patterns are recommended for capture and import to Asseti.
Recommended captures:
Dataset 1: crosshatched oblique angle flight
Dataset 2: mapping flight with nadir orientation
Dataset 3: mapping flight at lower altitude
Dataset 4: orbital flight around focus areas
These datasets layer and process in Asseti to detailed models, including vertical structures.
The complete guide in Asseti Help Center includes flight path patterns, altitudes, relative distances, capture angle and other details for best-practice data capture.
Our best-practice guide further detailed variations pilots may use,
- Pressed for time? Lower overlaps.
- Detailed structure? More overlap!
- High structures? Vary delivery altitude.
We recommend professionals capturing aerial imagery for Asseti review our best practice guide in the Asseti Help Center. The guide will intermittently be updated as new best practices are revealed.
