Drone Inspection Photography Standards

EXPANDING

Required Deliverables

Every drone inspection produces:

  1. Overview photos — full property, from multiple angles
  2. Array overview — top-down or oblique, full array visible
  3. String-level photos — individual strings identifiable
  4. Findings photos — close-up of each anomaly
  5. Thermal equivalent — thermal image alongside visible for each finding

Naming Convention

YYYYMMDD_SITENAME_PHOTO-TYPE_###.jpg

Types:
  OVERVIEW — property overview
  ARRAY — full array photos
  THERMAL — thermal images
  FINDING-## — specific finding

Quality Standards

  • Minimum 4K resolution for overview photos
  • Thermal: save both thermal and visible-light version of every thermal shot
  • All photos geotagged (GPS coordinates embedded)
  • No blurry images — retake if needed
