Precision analysis and geoAI made easy
Magic wand: Accelerate your analysis with the magic wand tool, which rapidly detects and maps features within your imagery. It’s like having a wizard’s wand for your data!
Feature finder: Locate items of interest within your data using simple text prompts. The feature finder streamlines the identification process, saving you time and effort.
Union & intersect tools: Combine multiple polygons effortlessly with our union tool, merging them into a single, cohesive shape. The intersect tool allows you to find common overlapping areas between polygons, perfect for pinpointing shared spaces.
Crop raster to polygon: Focus on areas that matter most by cropping your datasets to specific polygons. This feature allows for targeted analysis, eliminating extraneous data and honing in on your region of interest.
Ground control points (GCPs): Enhance the accuracy of your drone maps by incorporating GCPs during the upload process. This ensures your data aligns precisely with real-world coordinates, boosting the reliability of your analyses.
Detect change: Quantify temporal changes by comparing datasets from different times. This feature is crucial for tracking developments and assessing the impact of interventions.
Smarter visualizations
Add photos as points: Enrich your projects by adding oblique photos as points. This provides additional context, making your maps more informative and engaging.
Greenness index: Assess vegetation health using the greenness index. This tool helps assess biomass and vegetation indicators from your RGB data, aiding in environmental monitoring.
Contrast enhancement: Improve the visualization of your datasets with contrast enhancement. Adjust the display to highlight features and details, making analysis more intuitive.
Process and view multispectral data: Upload and interact with multispectral data, visualizing it as a standard false-color composite. This capability enhances your analysis of vegetation and land cover.
All about elevation
Terrain profile: Visualize elevation changes along a line with the terrain profile tool. This is invaluable for understanding topography and planning field operations.
Calculate volume: Determine the volume of features within your datasets, including cut and fill calculations. This is essential for applications like construction planning and resource estimation.
Calculate height: Easily compute the height of features by subtracting the digital terrain model from the digital surface model. This simplifies structural analysis and environmental assessments.
Collaborate and organize seamlessly
Workspaces: Collaborate seamlessly with your team using workspaces. Share datasets, projects, and insights in a controlled environment, enhancing teamwork and productivity.
Projects: Organize your drone mapping endeavors with our projects feature. Upload datasets, analyze data, and collaborate with your team in real-time, all within a centralized hub.
Filter datasets: Quickly locate the data you need by filtering datasets based on location, habitat category, or date range. This streamlines your workflow, ensuring you spend less time searching and more time analyzing.
Flexible tools for every workflow
Inspect pixels: Dive deep into your data by inspecting pixel values. Retrieve RGB, greenness index, or elevation information at any point, providing detailed insights into your datasets.
Metric and imperial units: Choose between metric and imperial units for your measurements. Whether you work in meters, feet, or any preferred format, GeoNadir adapts to your needs.
Toolbox: Access all GeoNadir’s geospatial tools conveniently through the toolbox. It’s your one-stop shop for all the features you need to analyze and interpret your data.
From automating complex tasks to giving you better ways to collaborate and analyze your data, 2024 has been all about making GeoNadir the place to get the most from your drone mapping projects. But this is just the beginning! As we head into 2025, we’re excited to keep pushing boundaries, adding more intuitive tools, and working alongside you to shape the future of geospatial innovation. A huge shoutout to our incredible team and community—you’ve made this all possible.
