When we initially launched our integration with DroneDeploy on its App Market, we had other plans for expanding it. Our goal was to make drone imagery more accessible for fieldwork and ground-truthing through Fulcrum.
Now, the latest app version lets you quickly add drone maps as layers inside Fulcrum, making them available as web-based layers for mobile users. After surveying a site with your drone and processing the imagery via DroneDeploy, you can upload it as a layer in Fulcrum for use on web or mobile. This feature is especially useful for revisiting sites to collect aerial data for construction, landfills, utility rights-of-way, and urban development projects.
How to share drone images with Fulcrum
With a few steps you can be distributing your drone imagery data to your field ops crews using Fulcrum:
- Install Fulcrum-DroneDeploy from the App Market
- Sign into your Fulcrum account
- Go to the Layers tab on your imagery project view in DroneDeploy
- Add your imagery as a layer in Fulcrum
- View your data in the field on your mobile phone or tablet
Do you use drones alongside field data collection with Fulcrum? Feel free to reach out to us with feedback on how you’d like to see this integration expand and evolve.
