ADVANTAGES OF COMMERCIAL RPAS IN THERMOGRAPHY ANALYSIS? ► Remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) offer much better results than hand-held infrared cameras. Advanced piloted drones can reduce/eliminate the angle of image acquisition (deflection and reflection errors) especially for high arrays such as overhead utilities and roof structures. ► We can obtain much greater emissivity accuracy, clarity for qualitative or quantitative reporting using modern techniques with cutting edge drone technology. ► With remotely piloted aircraft systems working from above, we can often get the entire roof subject area in one photo (RGB and Thermal) which is not possible with handheld equipment. ► The thermal camera sensor is able to detect deterioration and thermal anomalies on roof structures early using proper inspection techniques. Thermal images are used with analysis tools readily available. We export professional thermal analytic reports and data for managers, roofers, and engineers. (
