Findings need a location and a clear visual record
Detailed imagery is most useful when reviewers can locate an observation and examine the surrounding area.
Close-ups lose the context
An image may show an area of concern without making its position on the structure clear.
Relevant detail is hard to isolate
Surrounding geometry can obscure the part of a point cloud that needs closer inspection.
Observations live in separate files
Field notes, photos, and survey data need to be matched before another reviewer can follow the finding.
Reviewers depend on prepared views
Clients and colleagues may need repeated screenshots or walkthroughs when they cannot explore the data themselves.
Earlier captures are hard to compare
Different folders, viewpoints, and capture dates make it difficult to review the same area over time.
Keep each observation connected to its location, supporting imagery, and wider surroundings.
Review detailed imagery alongside the wider site
Arrange panes to keep inspection photos or a 360° view beside a map or suitable 3D data. Review the detail while keeping the surrounding structure or site visible.
When repeat captures are available, place different dates side by side to examine visible changes and document conditions before and after work.

Focus on the area that needs attention
Position and rotate a clipbox to isolate a section of a point cloud. Save useful camera viewpoints so you can return to the same area during a review.
Use suitable point clouds or meshes to explore interiors, overhangs, and structures with multiple surfaces above one another. Take measurements where the captured data supports the accuracy required for the task.
Keep observations connected to the inspection record
Add Notes at the locations you want to discuss, keeping your observations alongside the available imagery and geometry.
Give colleagues and clients access to the relevant project data. They can review the findings in their browser without installing a specialist viewer or paying an additional license fee for each user.

Solutions
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is drone-based infrastructure inspection?
The detail you can assess depends on image resolution, capture distance, coverage, positioning, and the quality of the source data. AVAG helps you review captured conditions, add Notes, and take measurements from suitable spatial data. Whether the evidence is sufficient for a particular inspection depends on the required tolerances and the judgment of a qualified reviewer.
How can AVAG support an inspection workflow?
AVAG brings supported imagery, maps, and 3D data into a shared workspace. You can review detailed views alongside wider site context, add location-based Notes, take suitable measurements, and share project access. It supports the review and documentation of captured conditions. Inspection conclusions depend on the available evidence and the judgment of qualified reviewers.
How does AVAG help inspection companies track structural condition over time?
Bring captures from different inspection dates into the project and review them side by side in separate panes. Keep layer names and dates clear so reviewers can identify the records being compared. Use location-based Notes to document observations. Meaningful comparisons depend on consistent coverage, positioning, and image quality; changes are assessed by the reviewer.
Can inspection reports be shared directly with asset owners and engineers?
Yes. AVAG supports unlimited users per account at no additional cost. Asset owners, engineers of record, local authorities, and insurance assessors can all receive access to the same inspection data simultaneously. Granular rights management controls what each party can view and export. Clients access everything directly in their browser, no software installation required.
Do we need expensive computers?
You can review project data in a browser without installing a specialist desktop viewer. Performance depends on your device, internet connection, dataset size, and display settings. If you prepare drone, scanner, or mobile mapping data in other software before importing it, that preparation may have separate hardware requirements.
Is drone inspection suitable for bridges and large infrastructure structures?
Yes. Drones can capture full structural coverage including undersides, abutments, piers, and deck surfaces, in other words, areas that are difficult or impossible to reach efficiently with traditional access methods.
How does drone inspection reduce costs compared to traditional methods?
A structure that takes a ground crew a few hours to inspect can take a drone 15 minutes to capture. That time difference is the saving: fewer hours on site, no no crew coordination, and a valuable visual insights ready the same day. Inspection companies using AVAG complete significantly more jobs in the same period than before.
What file formats can be imported into AVAG for infrastructure inspection projects?
AVAG works with data from most drone platforms and common photogrammetry workflows, so there is no need to change your existing capture setup. If you already process data externally, AVAG imports outputs directly from Pix4D, Agisoft, 3DSurvey, and DroneDeploy, accepting TIFF orthophotos and DSMs, LAS and LAZ point clouds, and mesh data as a ZIP package containing JPG, OBJ, and MTL files. For map visualization and overlay, AVAG supports CAD drawings, WMS services, 3D models, DXF, TXT, CSV, Shapefile, and PDF formats. High-resolution grid photos, 360° panoramic images, and imagery captured with or without GPS also import directly for processing within the platform. For inspection projects specifically, DXF structural drawings load as overlays for comparison against captured conditions, and previous inspection data in GeoJSON and ShapeFile formats imports for cross-referencing with new capture, keeping your full inspection history in one place regardless of which software or drone produced the original data.
