Visual scene
Useful for orientation and finding source views. Missing regions and capture dates need to stay visible.
PLANT CAPTURE / ONE PROCESS BAY
Explore one area. Find the gap. See what a follow-up changes.
The first view leaves a branch hidden.
01 / CAPTURE
A USEFUL DRAFT HAS A CLEAR NEXT STEP
A follow-up can expose the branch. Identity, placement and inspection evidence still need their own checks.
COUNT THE COMPLETE JOB
These invented estimates cover the same intended deliverable across 13 work stages. Change the assumptions in the pilot worksheet.
Quality acceptance is still open. These figures are neither prices nor measured savings.
Intake, scope, access, capture, processing, reconciliation, drawings, inspection, review, corrections, reports, delivery and repeat work.
TAKE THE CONTEXT WITH THE DRAFT
The report example carries this capture set into the fictional process-line record.
DESIGN THE CAPTURE AROUND THE OUTPUT
Explore a capture plan before choosing equipment. These prompts shape a pilot; they do not process media or predict accuracy.
Planning basis: COLMAP’s reconstruction workflow, NavVis’s approach to accuracy verification and Transport Canada’s flight planning guidance. This planner does not select a device or determine flight authorization.
SEPARATE THE DELIVERABLES
Useful for orientation and finding source views. Missing regions and capture dates need to stay visible.
Useful for returning to the intended inspection point. Asset identity, location, revision and completeness require their own checks.
Useful for specified measurement tasks after controls and independent checks establish an acceptable result.
Requires the process relationships, design information and professional review appropriate to its purpose. Visible surfaces alone do not provide that record.
