CANOPY OBSERVE.
A mission planning and operations layer for data collection. designed for repeatability, compliance, and speed.
Canopy Observe helps teams plan, run, and verify sensing missions — drone, ground, or mixed. It’s the missing layer between “we collected something” and “we can trust it.”
Think: checklists, roles, sensor inputs, and automatic handoff into Canopy Sight + Canopy C2.
-
Plan routes, capture patterns (nadir/oblique/orbit), and repeatable templates per site.
-
Green/Amber/Red workflow so operators know what’s complete: permissions, weather, NOTAMs (where used), equipment, risk controls.
-
Structured metadata, consistent naming, and automatic packaging so processing and reporting are reliable.
-
Define the objective, site constraints, capture pattern, and deliverables. Save as a template.
-
Operator completes a guided checklist (role-based) - ops manual, surface hazards, approvals, battery/firmware, weather windows, comms.
-
Run the mission with clear capture instructions, overlap targets, angles, priority areas.
-
Confirm coverage, spot gaps, and record deviations so the report stays honest.
-
Outputs into Canopy Sight (analysis) and Canopy C2 (operations) with the right context.
DATA TYPES
What Observe supports
Visual mapping and inspection capture
Oblique image sets for 3D reconstruction / Gaussian splatting
Thermal inspection capture
Ground-based sensor deployments (temporary cameras / nodes)
Repeat surveys and progress captures
USE CASES
REPEATABLE SITE WALKS (REMOTE)
Standardise what “good” looks like across projects and operators.
BUILDING / ASSET DIGITAL CAPTURE
High-quality image capture designed for model generation and review.
RAPID SETUP FOR TEMPORARY SITES
Deploy fast, stay compliant, and leave with a verified dataset.
INCIDENT / EVENT CAPTURE
Capture quickly, lock the chain-of-custody, and create a reliable timeline.
