Omniris research
White Papers
Technical perspectives on geospatial data, AI, mapping, and operational intelligence.
Construction
Construction: the site, measured every week
What general contractors, owners, data-center builders and earthworks firms fly drones for, how often, and to what accuracy — and, use case by use case, what Omniris does with those flights: measured progress against the design and the schedule, earthwork quantities with stated uncertainty, and a record that holds up when the numbers are questioned.

Mining and Aggregates
Stockpiles, pits and slopes, measured from the air
What open-pit mines, quarries and sand and gravel pits actually fly drones for, and how Omniris turns those flights into stockpile tonnage, volume change between surveys, slope and drainage maps and CAD surfaces, each with a record of how the number was made.

Agriculture
Fields you can read, season after season
What growers, agronomists, crop consultants and research teams fly drones for, and how Omniris turns those flights into calibrated crop maps, per-zone statistics across the season, crop water stress and drainage layers, with a sealed custody record behind every file.

Solar Farms
Solar farms: from hot cell to work order
What owners, O&M providers, EPCs and commissioning agents fly drones for on utility-scale and commercial solar sites, what the standards ask of those flights, and — use case by use case — how Omniris turns those flights into graded anomalies, repair tickets, progress against the design and sealed custody records.

Transmission and Vegetation Management
Transmission corridors and vegetation management
What utilities and their vegetation contractors fly over transmission corridors, the rules that set the pace of that work, and what Omniris does with the data: LiDAR processed into vegetation-to-conductor clearance, clearance points turned into tracked work items, thermal and photo inspection, and a tamper-evident record of when each span was inspected, and what was found.

Commercial Roofing and Building Envelope
Roofs and building envelopes: suspect wet insulation mapped, every square foot on record
How roofing contractors, roof consultants, facility managers and building-envelope consultants use drones today — infrared moisture surveys, condition assessments, bid measurements, storm and warranty documentation, facade work — and, use case by use case, what Omniris delivers for each.

Landfills
Landfill airspace you can measure
What landfill operators, solid waste authorities and their engineers fly drones for, how often and against which rules — and how Omniris turns those flights into remaining airspace, airspace consumed, grades, slopes, drainage and change you can measure, state the accuracy of and keep on record for the life of the site.

Bulk Material Inventory Audits
Stockpile counts that hold up
How Omniris turns a drone flight over a coal yard, an aggregates plant, a port terminal or a salt barn into period-end stockpile volumes and tonnages, with the method, the density and the uncertainty written next to every number, and a tamper-evident record that a controller, an auditor or a lender can check for themselves.

Land Surveying and Civil Engineering
Drone topography you can check
How land surveying and civil engineering firms use drones for topography, corridors, drainage and earthwork, and how Omniris takes a flight from surveyed ground control to checkpoint-tested surfaces and State Plane CAD files. Through all of it, the licensed surveyor decides what the data is fit for.

Claims, Litigation and Forensic Engineering
Claims, litigation and forensic engineering: drone evidence that holds up
How insurers, law firms and forensic engineers use drone flights today, what the rules of evidence ask of the imagery, and how Omniris gets the flight flown, measures what it shows and proves later that nothing was changed.

Sovereign and Critical-Infrastructure Monitoring
Monitoring critical sites on your own ground
How government agencies and the operators of energy, water, transport and logistics sites can turn repeat drone flights into reviewed, provable records of what changed: on their own hardware, in their own country, and still working when the network is cut.
Read white paper →
Drone Service Providers
Drone service providers
How independent Part 107 pilots and drone service companies use Omniris to find work, prove they are qualified, plan and check the flight, process what they captured, deliver it, and get paid — all from one account.

Digital Twins: 3D Meshes and Splats
Digital twins you can see and measure
How Omniris turns ordinary drone photos of a site into a measurable 3D mesh or a photo-real Gaussian splat, what you can do with each, and how to fly a site so the result is worth having.

Site Manager and Site Navigator
Sites you can see over time
How Omniris organizes every flight around the places you fly, and how the Site Navigator lets you walk a site through its flight dates, compare them, measure what changed and share what you found.

Security, Encryption and Data Control
Data you control
How Omniris decides who can sign in, what each person can see and change, how your files are encrypted, where your data is kept on each edition, and what happens to it when you delete it.
Read white paper →
Stitching and Map Tools
Maps you can measure
How Omniris turns a drone's overlapping photos into a stitched map, elevation models and 3D, how to fly so the result is good, and every tool you can use on the finished job.

Evidence Integrity
Evidence you can prove
How Omniris keeps a tamper-evident record of every drone image and dataset that anyone can check for themselves, and lets you lock that evidence down for litigation, insurance claims and audits.
Read white paper →
Findings
Findings you can act on
How Omniris turns what a drone survey finds into work items on a map: placed where they are on the ground, filed once, worked from a phone on site, shared with the people who need them, connected to your other systems, and kept in the same tamper-evident record as the imagery they came from.

AI Detection and Verification
AI you can check
How Omniris finds objects in your drone photos and maps with AI, and how a person checks and corrects every result before anyone relies on it.
Read white paper →
Thermal Imaging
Temperatures you can measure
How Omniris turns a thermal drone flight into a map of real surface temperatures that you can click, outline, search for hot spots and compare — with every number read from the measured data, never guessed from the colours.

Multispectral and Agriculture
Crops you can read
How Omniris turns a multispectral drone flight into calibrated crop-health maps, lets you build and save your own vegetation indices, measures every zone of a field, and shows how each one changes from flight to flight.
Read white paper →
LiDAR and Point Clouds
LiDAR you can work with
How Omniris turns a LiDAR survey into a labelled 3D point cloud, terrain models and clearance measurements, lets anyone you choose open it in a web browser, and keeps it in the same secure evidence vault as your photos.

Design, Progress and Integrations
From design to measured progress
How Omniris lays the design and the schedule over every drone survey, measures how much of the work is really in place, has a person approve it, and hands that progress back to your Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project schedule — working alongside Procore and Autodesk Forma, with every step on the record.

Mission Planning and Flight Safety
Flights you can plan with confidence
How Omniris turns a drawn area into a flight your drone can fly, checks the plan against camera physics, terrain, no-fly zones, FAA airspace and the weather, and keeps a record of every check the pilot made before take-off.

The Phone App in the Field
Work that goes where you go
How the Omniris phone app, for iPhone and Android, puts your vault, your jobs, your findings and your construction progress in your pocket on site, and keeps working when the signal drops.

Orion, the AI Assistant
Answers from your own data
Orion is the assistant built into Omniris. Ask it a question in plain English and it answers from your own jobs, files and imagery, and from the Omniris guides. It only reads, and it only sees what you are allowed to see.

Sharing, Delivery and Integrations
Work you can hand over
How Omniris lets you share captures with colleagues and clients, deliver finished work, and connect it to the other systems you use, with every hand-over recorded and protected files handled the same careful way on every path.
