The Dispatch
Technical dispatches, field intelligence, and industry analysis from the Altis Aerial operations team.
Sub-centimeter point clouds are transforming how contractors verify earthworks, track progress, and avoid costly rework. Here is what the data actually shows.
What actually happens between "drone lands" and "client receives 3D model"? We walk through the full photogrammetry processing pipeline and why output quality depends on every step.
From rooftop moisture intrusion to solar panel underperformance, thermal aerial surveys are exposing costly defects before they become catastrophic failures. A field guide to what the technology can and cannot do.
Deploying four drones simultaneously across a 960-hectare mine site used to require four pilots, four observers, and a day of coordination. Here is how fleet automation is eliminating that constraint.
GPS rovers, total stations, and helicopter surveys have served the industry for decades. When should you still use them — and when does drone surveying win decisively? A data-driven breakdown.
