Building Inspections: How to Perform Facade (Vertical) Inspections with Drones | Hammer Missions

Join Varun as he walks you through a complete end-to-end guide for drone facade inspections.
🏢 Conducting a thorough facade survey using drones requires investment in the right tools and a well-oiled workflow. In this video, we're going to look at how you can use Hammer Missions to create an end-to-end automated facade capture and vertical building inspection workflow for enhanced and accurate analysis.

Great video. Hope to be using Hammer Mission soon.

[@looheejin]

Great Jon in explaining! I hope to learn how to use this program for facade inspection, e.g. how to conduct a face inspection of all sides of a building, do you have a video demonstrating this type of mission?

[@HammerMissions]

Thank you! And yes, checkout this video: czcams.com/video/3rPnKzZQR2w/video.html

Amazing work Varun, we love the work you and your team are doing!

[@HammerMissions]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Flybywire00]

Hi Varun, Hello from sunny Florida. Thanks for sharing the 3 D model Winston .

[@HammerMissions]

Thank you! We've added you to the data credits 🙏

If I were to manually take images on the ground of the ground level, and take photos of areas the drone did not get (overhangs from underneath, small crop ins etc..) what mirrorless camera would you suggest that would be compatible?

[@HammerMissions]

Generally speaking, you want to get a camera with similar specs to the drone camera (sensor size, *focal length*, and resolution). Focal length is particularly important here for camera calibration and alignment 📸

[@EDSC_CANADA]

I suppose I could carry the drone with an assistant and take photos manually.. probably the easiest!

[@HammerMissions]

@@EDSC_CANADA Yes, using the same drone would be ideal! You also want to ensure you get high overlaps between different image groups:
