Nabhya1. Capture
Fly the survey you already fly. Standard JPEG frames from the stock RGB camera are the input — no gimbal swaps, no reflectance panel, no calibration pass.
- Nadir (straight down) camera angle
- Consistent altitude across the block
- Overcast or mid-morning light; avoid hard shadows and glare
- Keep exposure locked across the flight so the frames match
2. Upload
Send the frame over one HTTPS request from your existing pipeline, or drop it into the dashboard. Single frames, GeoTIFFs and stitched orthomosaics all work as inputs.
3. Read the result
You get a vegetation stress map, percentile management zones, canopy cover and a short health summary — as imagery, JSON, or GeoTIFF for your GIS. Turnaround is seconds, so you can review while still on site.
4. Sell it
For a drone service provider this is the difference between selling a flight and selling an outcome. The same survey now produces a per-acre crop health report the agronomist and the farmer can both act on — no additional capital, no additional flight time.
Common capture mistakes
- Flying in harsh midday sun — specular glare distorts the vigour field
- Mixing altitudes mid-block, which changes the ground sample distance
- Auto-exposure drifting between frames on long transects
- Heavy motion blur from flying too fast for the shutter speed
