Calgary, Alberta · Processing from anywhere
Drone thermal imagery, processed into a measurable 3D thermal model of buildings and industrial assets.

Who it is for
01
Building envelope engineering firms
We fly the building, or process existing imagery into a radiometric 3D model. Findings can be measured, compared, and located again on site. Offer as an optional item in your proposals. More on the building envelope page.

Drone service providers and in-house drone teams
You fly, we process: a full picture of what you captured, the evidence behind every reading, and comparability over time. More on the drone service provider page.

How it works
What you receive
Larger projects are scoped per project. Discuss a pilot project
Supported payloads. Any DJI radiometric thermal payload, including the Zenmuse H20T, Matrice 4TD, M30T, Mavic 3T and Zenmuse H30T.
Web viewer
A walkthrough of the viewer on an example building record. Silent, about a minute.
What is behind every point
Every point carries its temperature, its capture time and the evidence behind the reading. In the delivered viewer, each field can be read, used to colour or filter the record, or taken into your own software.
2D and 3D
Walls, vents and junctions, and what the 3D record keeps: the full comparison.
Common approach
Sees only what faces up. Walls and doors are missing, and roof vents flatten into the roof, so their readings mix with the roof around them.
Our 3D record
Roofs, walls, doors and junctions in one record, each temperature at the position where it was measured. The side-door reading shown does not exist in the orthomosaic.
Other assets
Example record
This example record of a pumpjack site came through the same processing. Pipework and equipment stay in 3D instead of flattening into a plan view, and the same review tools apply.
Example record
This example record of a steel truss bridge came through the same processing. The deck, piers and truss stay in 3D instead of flattening into a plan view. We’d welcome your perspective on fit for the assets you review.
One 3D thermal record as a LAZ point cloud with its coordinate system embedded, and the tools to review it in a hosted web viewer, not downloaded software, with DXF and E57/LAS findings exports and GeoJSON class/asset identification. A processing quality report and a point traceability report are included with each delivery.
Focused investigation, repair planning, and post-repair verification. Capture the same asset again later and the two records can be compared by points or asset areas to see what has changed.
With a free project, or a conversation about the building or assets you review and the work you have in mind. Capture suitability is assessed per project, including captures planned but not yet flown. If you don’t fly, we can, or we can help you arrange it.
Precision Flight Data is based in Calgary and can process data from anywhere. If you need a flight arranged, we can help in Western Canada.
No. The record gives your team located, traceable thermal evidence for its assessment. Thermal observations alone do not establish a diagnosis.
Pilot projects
For engineering and inspection firms, drone service providers, and utilities and asset operators with drone programs. Tell us about the building or the assets you review and the work you have in mind. If you don’t fly, we can. Capture suitability is assessed per project either way.
Our processing runs end to end, from radiometric captures to the 3D record in the viewer, and has been run on captures flown by other operators.
