DroneDeploy

Reality capture platform using drones, robots, 360 cameras and AI to document and analyze

Visit DroneDeploy

DroneDeploy is a reality capture platform that combines aerial drone mapping, ground capture with 360 cameras and smartphones, robotics, and AI analysis to give construction, energy, agriculture, and infrastructure teams a live record of site conditions. It addresses the need to track progress, quality, and safety across sites and to share that data with common construction and GIS tools.

The platform includes DroneDeploy Aerial for drone mapping with RTK and PPK workflows, producing orthomosaic maps, 3D point clouds, digital surface models, thermal imagery, and volumetric measurements. Ground capture, dock automation, and industrial inspection extend coverage, while AI modules such as Progress AI, Safety AI, Quality AI, and Earthworks AI surface schedule, safety, and defect risks. Integrations cover Esri ArcGIS, Procore, Autodesk, and other platforms, with exports in standard formats and an open API.

DroneDeploy is aimed at project managers, site supervisors, survey professionals, operations teams, and program directors managing single or multi-site programs. It supports hardware from DJI, Anzu, Freefly, and other manufacturers, and offers Data on Demand for teams without in-house pilots or hardware. A trial and demo are available, with pricing provided through a discovery session.
