Capturing consistent, high-quality drone data comes down to four things. The GOLD framework — GPS, Overlap, Lighting, and Distance — cuts through the noise and gives drone operators a simple, repeatable foundation for getting it right every time, on any site or structure.

Learn how to capture high-quality thermal drone data for building inspections, including workflows, GSD, overlap, and best practices for accurate results.

Learn the difference between relative and absolute accuracy in drone inspections, why GSD matters, and how to get reliable data for engineering projects.

This post explains what is ground sampling distance (GSD) and why does it matter for drone-based site mapping and asset inspections.
