Requirements

1. 📍 Image Format & Upload Guidelines

✅ Required Format

• Submit JPEG images with geolocation (GPS) data.

• Minimum image count: 50

• Maximum per upload: 5,000 images per flight

  Note: We do not support .DNG format images.

📤 How to Upload

• Under 5,000 images: Upload directly via the Self-upload/Ingest platform.

• Over 5,000 images: Email your files to the 3D team at 3d@evercam.io.

2. ✈️ Drone Flight Requirements

📏 Flight Height

• No tall structures (e.g., cranes): Fly at approx. 60 meters.

• If crane present (e.g., 50–60m tall): Fly 20m above the tallest structure (typically 80–90 meters).

• Standard practice: Maintain a consistent flight altitude throughout.

🧭 Photo Spacing

• Controlled by your drone path mapping software.

• Settings may vary depending on provider; ensure adequate overlap for 3D reconstruction.

📐 Camera Angle Recommendations

• Large sites: Capture images straight down, 90°angle (nadir view ⬇).

• Small structures (e.g., bridges): Set camera to a 90° or 65° angle, flying along the site perimeter while facing inward ↘.

3. 💡 Lighting Conditions

• Conduct flights during daylight hours with adequate lighting.

• Avoid low-light conditions to ensure high-quality texture rendering.

4. 🛠️ Recommended Hardware

Any drone will work if images are geolocated, but we recommend:

• DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise

• DJI Mavic Air 2

• DJI Mavic Pro
