Check it with numbers.

Resolution and stand-off, image count and time, cost breakdown — calculated instantly from your inputs. The same functions are available via the API and MCP.

LAB 01

Stand-off and resolution (GSD)

How many millimetres of surface one pixel covers (GSD). To see a 0.2 mm crack you want GSD finer than 0.2 mm. When shooting on the move, keep motion blur under 0.5 px.

LAB 02

Images and flight time

Image count and time to grid-capture a rectangular surface such as a facade or deck soffit. The footprint comes from LAB 01 automatically.

LAB 03

Compare inspection cost breakdowns

Compare conventional and drone-assisted inspection by labour, access, traffic control, downtime and post-processing. The default numbers are placeholders — replace them with your own quotes. Human checks that remain (e.g. sounding) go into “residual manual share”.
