    How do you add a property outline to a picture?

    You can't draw vector objects in Lightroom which is what linework is. Best you can do is use the brush tool. Hence why they have Photoshop.

    Mapping flight might pass over people

    If it is just foot traffic "sparsely populated" then no worries if you are just following traditional flight lines, but if there is a large group of people and your transects are tightly spaced and will cross them several times then I would wait until they dissipate. In the same manner if you...

    Solar installation surveys - software recommendations

    DroneDeploy is free for flight so I'm assuming you're talking about processing?

    Looking for a high nit phone or tablet, any suggestions? good battery life as well?

    It’s funny this just popped up because I bought one of these about a week ago and it is an amazing device. $160 on Amazon. Yeah, I know, right?! https://a.co/d/j1axBKL

    Extracting Building Footprints

    Totally agree. It also begs the question what do you need to consider as "footprint". Some use case and the entire covered area, some the impervious cover and some just the living space. Trees and secondary structures don't help.

    Extracting Building Footprints

    How accurate do you need it to be? First priority is that you have a low enough GSD to create crisp edges for AI feature extraction to work. Even with training these models still have trouble because of the wide variety of shapes and roofing materials. Picterra does a good job and is a...

    Advice for large Photogrammetry Job

    That’s great, but all I did was clarify that Virtual Surveyor is not photogrammetry software even though they consistently put the word photogrammetry in their marketing material.

    Advice for large Photogrammetry Job

    Virtual Surveyor does not perform image alignment, generate point clouds, or create orthomosaics. It is not a full photogrammetry processing software like Agisoft Metashape, Pix4D, or RealityCapture. Instead, it is designed to work with pre-processed datasets, typically point clouds, DEMs, and...

    Wanted: Mavic 3 Thermal

    Does anyone have any leads on someone who might be selling a Mavic 3T? Maybe someone who is moving on the Matrice 4T? Even if it is just the aircraft, I have the rest. I am looking to try Thermal to see if it is something I might enjoy as much as mapping and RGB inspections.

    Need to utilize Geofencing to continue flying under COA next to Military site

    I just flew yesterday with an M3E in a 50ft grid Central Texas and when I hit the 0 grid (restricted) it stopped me. Showing them you flight plan that is contained should be sufficient though. They don't know whether geofencing is on the drone or not. When you say COA you are talking about via...
