Dronelink Facade Capture: From Planning to Flight

Описание: Are you still manually flying up and down buildings for inspections? There is a better way.

Today we are going on-site to demonstrate the power of Dronelink’s Facade Capture. This feature automates the process of collecting consistent, evenly spaced imagery of vertical surfaces.

I’m breaking down my specific workflow, including how to set up the "Boundary Face" correctly so your drone doesn't fly into the wall, and the specific reason I prefer vertical passes when walking around a site. We will plan the mission, check it in 3D using Google Earth, and then fly it for real.

Key Takeaways:

Why automation beats manual flight for inspections.

How to keep the camera perpendicular to the building.

The advantage of vertical paths for walking speed.

RTK and altitude settings for accuracy.
