UAV bridge inspection capture

Close-range UAV inspection of bridges and structures with RGB or RGB-D, flight logs, and defect-view metadata.

This is a custom capture program for close-range UAV inspection of bridges and large structures. Pilots fly your airframe along inspection paths while we record imagery, pose, and defect-view metadata, including aborted approaches. It exists because standoff, glare, and wind around real spans are not the same problem as a warehouse aisle or an indoor crawler.

What we collect

Inspection passes with synchronized imagery and flight state across lighting, standoff, and structure types. Lost views, glare washouts, and go-arounds are labeled so evaluation can slice a clean pass from a recovery.

How capture works

Scoping locks airframe, sensor gimbal, and the defect taxonomy. A pilot validates sync and standoff, then capture scales across spans following robotics data collection. Time alignment uses multi-sensor synchronization when pose and imagery must stay locked.

Who it is for

Inspection robotics teams hardening close-range UAV perception. This scenario belongs to inspection robotics data collection. Interior assets are a sibling program: confined-space pipe inspection.

Scenario FAQ

Yes, with owner access, airspace rules, and exclusion zones agreed during scoping. Closed structures are available when live spans are not practical.
