DroneDeploy is a cloud-based drone software platform that enables organizations to capture, process, and analyze aerial and ground-level data. It supports automated flight planning, photogrammetry-based 3D mapping, orthomosaic generation, and volumetric measurements. The platform serves industries including construction, agriculture, energy, mining, and public safety. Users can monitor job sites over time using progress tracking tools, generate inspection reports, and share data with stakeholders through collaborative dashboards. DroneDeploy integrates with a range of hardware drones and sensors, and its AI-powered analysis tools can detect changes, identify objects, and flag anomalies in captured imagery. The platform also supports ground-based reality capture through 360-degree cameras and laser scanning, extending its use beyond aerial data collection. Data outputs include point clouds, digital elevation models, thermal maps, and annotated inspection reports. DroneDeploy is accessible via web browser and mobile app, supporting both field data capture and office-based analysis.
