drone inspections deliver accurate readings of critical structures using visual and thermal imagery, enabling targeted maintenance and better operational efficiency
-
technology
640×512 radiometric infrared camera (1280×1024 with super resolution), manufacturer-rated thermal sensitivity ≤50mK, 16-bit radiometric R-JPEG output. measurement range −20°C to 150°C at ±2°C or ±2% (high gain); 0°C to 550°C at ±5°C or ±3% (low gain), per sensor manufacturer specifications.
how it works
every pixel in every image is a calibrated temperature reading. thermal patterns can indicate failing solar connections, moisture-related anomalies in roofing, or overheating electrical components. each anomaly is documented with measured temperature and precise location. solar inspections are reported in accordance with IEC TS 62446-3. all findings are presented as objective thermal data.

technology
three 48MP cameras (24mm wide, 70mm medium tele, 168mm telephoto) with 112× hybrid zoom; laser rangefinder measuring to 1,800 m, manufacturer-rated accuracy ±(0.2 m + 0.0015 × distance).
how it works
high-resolution photographic documentation of roofs, facades, towers, and marine structures, captured from a safe standoff distance - no ladders, lifts, or rope access required. onboard laser ranging provides measured distances, dimensions, and area estimates during flight. all findings are presented an organized, annotated report documenting observed conditions.
-
technology
capture positioned by onboard RTK (manufacturer-rated 1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal / 1.5 cm + 1 ppm vertical positioning accuracy); overlapping 48MP imagery processed into orthomosaics, 3D models, and volumetric estimates.
how it works
hundreds of precisely positioned photographs, processed into a single measurable model of a site - a to-scale overhead map, a 3D model, or volumetric estimates for planning and tracking. delivered in formats compatible with standard GIS and CAD tools.
who we are
canopy sensing is based in seattle and owned by engineers who've built, operated, and analyzed data from complex sensors on aircraft and spacecraft - everything from military helicopters to lunar landers to hundreds of low-earth-orbit satellites
