From Drone to Decision

From data collection to AI analysis — the technology stack behind AssetEye.

What we deliver

Drone Inspections That Replace the Lift

Drone inspections give you accurate readings of structures and components without scaffolding, lifts, or shutdown. Visual and thermal imagery is captured in a single flight, geo-referenced, and handed straight to the AssetEye AI for damage detection.

The result is faster, safer, and more complete than a manual survey — your crews stay on the ground, and your reports arrive ready for decision-making.

  • Certified pilots
  • Approved to fly across Denmark
  • GDPR & ISO 27001 aligned

Visual Capture

High-resolution 2D orthophotos and 3D point clouds of the full asset, ready for AI classification.

Thermal Imaging

Detects leaks, missing insulation, and moisture before they show on the surface.

Targeted Maintenance

Reports pinpoint exact locations and severity, so crews fix what matters and skip what doesn’t.

  • 90min Flight time per battery
  • 8K+ thermal Visual 8K · Thermal 640×512
  • 99.2% AI accuracy on damage detection

Technology Stack

Each technology has a purpose. From capture to insight.

Six layers of hardware, sensors, and software working as one stack — each one earning its place between the drone in the air and the report on your desk.

2D Orthophoto

Sharp aerial imagery, the foundation for AI analysis.

High-resolution aerial photos, processed into geo-referenced orthophotos that AssetEye can read pixel by pixel. Not a deliverable on its own, the entry point to every automated damage detection.

  • Input to AI damage detection
  • Georeferenced and scaled
  • Compatible with AssetEye Engine v6

3D Models & Point Clouds

Precise documentation for measurement and preservation.

Millimeter-accurate 3D models for quantity calculations, renovation planning, and heritage documentation. Delivered through Nira.app with Capturing Reality as our processing partner.

  • Nira.app delivery, FARO compatible
  • Quantity takeoffs and as-built docs
  • Heritage and listed building work

Thermography

Thermal imaging reveals leaks and moisture.

Thermographic cameras detect temperature anomalies that flag insulation gaps, water ingress, and energy loss before they become visible damage. The first step in our planned AssetEye moisture module.

  • Detects thermal anomalies non-invasively
  • Insulation and moisture indicators
  • Energy audit ready output

Wind Turbine Inspection

Specialized inspection for renewable energy.

Blade-surface inspection of turbines without shutting them down. Buildings remain our core, but turbines prove the technical envelope and serve niche clients in the energy sector.

  • High-resolution blade imagery
  • Damage detection on rotating components
  • No turbine shutdown required

Security & Compliance

Physical and digital safety at the highest level.

Certified pilots in the air and a hardened data pipeline on the ground. Every flight is permitted, every byte is GDPR-compliant, and the platform aligns with ISO 27001 from capture to delivery.

  • Certified pilots, full flight permits
  • GDPR + ISO 27001 aligned
  • Azure hosting with environment separation

AssetEye Platform

The brain behind the analysis

From observation to decision, in one platform.

AssetEye Engine v6 is the AI layer that turns drone data into damage classes, confidence scores, and budget-anchored decisions. 5,557 decision paths, 99.2% accuracy, and manual override always one click away.

Deeper Look

How the tech comes together

Six layers, six purposes. Here is what each one actually does on a job and what you get back as the client.

012D Orthophoto

The map behind every inspection

Every flight starts with a high-resolution 2D orthophoto: a geo-referenced top-down image stitched from hundreds of overlapping aerial photos. It is the canvas the AssetEye damage classifier reads pixel by pixel, and the reference everyone on the project can point at without ambiguity.

  • Centimetre-level resolution, fully geo-referenced
  • Stitched from 300+ overlapping captures per asset
  • Direct input to AssetEye Engine v6

023D Models & Point Clouds

Centimetre-accurate building models

From hundreds of overlapping aerial photos we build a centimetre-accurate 3D model. Owners and boards can rotate, measure, and compare the model from one inspection cycle to the next, anchoring renovation tenders and heritage documentation in real geometry instead of approximations.

  • Output: OBJ, GLB, or web viewer URL via Nira.app
  • Enables area and volume measurement
  • Heritage and listed-building documentation
  • FARO scanner compatible for hybrid captures

03Thermography

See what the eye misses

Thermal cameras reveal water ingress, heat loss, and missing insulation that look fine in a normal photo. We typically combine a thermal pass with a photo pass on the same flight, giving the AI two complementary inputs and a complete picture of asset condition.

  • FLIR-class radiometric cameras
  • Best in low-sun conditions, early morning
  • Outputs feed AssetEye’s thermal classifier
  • First step in the planned moisture detection module

04Wind Turbine Inspection

Inspect without shutting down

Drone-based blade inspection captures every metre of every blade at high resolution, without taking the turbine offline. Tight flight paths maintain safe clearance from rotating components while delivering imagery that catches leading-edge erosion, lightning damage, and bond-line defects long before they become structural risks.

  • High-resolution blade-surface imagery
  • Damage detection on rotating components
  • No turbine shutdown required
  • Specialised crew certified for energy-sector work

05Security & Compliance

Permitted in the air, hardened on the ground

Every flight is permitted, every pilot is certified, and every byte we capture moves through a pipeline aligned with ISO 27001 and GDPR from the moment it leaves the drone. The platform sits on Azure with environment separation, encrypted at rest and in transit, with audit trails on every report touch.

  • Certified pilots, full Danish flight permits
  • GDPR-compliant data handling
  • ISO 27001 alignment, documented January 2026
  • Azure hosting with environment separation
