Choosing outputs

Before a job starts, you choose which outputs it should produce. The choice depends on what you need to deliver — a map, elevation data, a 3D model — and on what kind of imagery you uploaded.

  • Orthomosaic — a georeferenced aerial map (GeoTIFF), the most common deliverable.
  • DSM & DTM — elevation models of the surface and the bare terrain.
  • 3D point cloud — the reconstructed scene as millions of 3D points.
  • NDVI — a vegetation-health index map; requires multispectral imagery.
  • Thermal orthomosaic — a temperature map; requires radiometric thermal imagery.

If you are unsure, start with the orthomosaic — you can restart a job from the project later without uploading the images again. Note that NDVI and thermal are only meaningful if your camera actually captured that kind of data; regular RGB photos cannot produce them.
