Roof Inspection Demo

Overview

This demo project showcases the use of drones for capturing high-resolution rooftop imagery suitable for visual inspection and documentation. It is not intended to serve as a certified roofing or structural assessment. The project showcases a typical workflow that can be adapted for use in property management, real estate marketing, or insurance documentation scenarios.

Objectives

• Plan a flight pattern to capture top-down and oblique images of the roof

• Ensure high image resolution and consistent lighting for feature visibility

• Process imagery into an orthomosaic and/or high-res stills

• Annotate areas of interest if applicable (e.g., vents, damage, materials)

Tools & Methods

• DJI Mavic Series

• WebODM

• Leaflet, GitHub, and p3d.in for interactive image displays

Results

• High-res orthomosaic or stitched image

• An interactive 3D model (Textured Mesh)

• An interactive Digital Surface Model (DSM)
