Drone thermal imaging

Software built for
thermal cameras that fly

Aerial thermography has problems handheld work never faces: mixed thermal-optical payloads, thousand-image flights, thermal video, and findings that need map coordinates. Atlas was built for exactly this shape of data.

Capabilities

The aerial IR workflow, end to end

From the moment the card comes out of the drone to the moment the client opens the report.

Radiometric file support

Atlas reads the calibrated temperature data embedded in DJI R-JPEG and FLIR radiometric files — not just the colorized preview — so every reading is a measurement, not a guess.

Automatic photo organization

Uploads are sorted thermal vs optical, grouped by flight, and filed against the right project and building automatically — even full memory-card dumps.

Drone video frame extraction

Pull sharp, evenly spaced frames out of drone video — including thermal video — instead of screenshotting playback by hand.

Georeferenced findings

Findings land on maps and an interactive 3D globe view, so repair crews know exactly where to go without re-flying the site.

3D models & orthophotos

Turn drone photos or video into interactive 3D models, orthophotos, and downloadable deliverables processed on cloud GPUs — no desktop photogrammetry rig required.

Branded PDF reports

Generate client-ready reports with annotated imagery, findings tables, and severity grading — under your logo and brand, ready to send the same day.

Volume is the point — handle it automatically

A single thermal drone flight produces hundreds of paired IR and wide-angle frames. Atlas classifies and pairs them automatically, groups captures by flight, and puts every finding on a georeferenced map, so an anomaly found at frame 400 becomes a location a technician can walk to.

Thermal video is data, not just footage

Many drone thermal payloads record radiometric video. Atlas extracts sharp frames on a sensible interval, carries per-frame temperature data through the extraction, and can feed the same footage into 3D reconstruction — turning a five-minute orbit into measurable stills and a navigable model.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which thermal drones does Atlas support?

DJI thermal platforms (Mavic 3 Thermal, Matrice with thermal payloads) with full radiometric decoding, plus FLIR-equipped drones, and standard imagery from Autel, Skydio, and others.

Can Atlas map where each thermal anomaly is?

Yes — findings are georeferenced from capture metadata and shown on maps and an interactive 3D view, so repair crews get locations, not just image numbers.

Does Atlas build thermal orthomosaics?

Atlas builds orthophotos and 3D models from drone imagery on cloud GPUs, and pairs thermal findings with the reconstructed scene for location context.
