- Base Filtering for Labels: Added the ability to filter and search for custom labels specific to the Base you are currently working in.
- Improved Touchscreen Interactions: Refined drag-and-drop and map navigation controls for better performance on touch-based devices.
Scene Reconstruction
2D Orthophoto
Users can now process drone imagery to generate high-resolution 2D orthomosaic maps directly within the platform.
- Supports up to 300 images per session
- Automated tiling service for web-based rendering directly on the map layer
3D Point Clouds
- Capabilities to render detailed 3D point clouds from uploaded image sets for advanced analysis and visualization
Enhancements
- Processing job queue & notifications: User-facing queue to track the status of reconstruction jobs and receive notifications upon completion
Feature flagging
- Introduced a modular system to enable or disable features based on user subscription plans, roles, or for canary releases with pilot users
- Administrative UI for managing feature access
Enhancements
- Improvements to live telemetry data sync for multiple simultaneous operations
- Added functionality to access and remotely debug DJI drone systems through the platform, speeding up troubleshooting
Multi-Drone Operations Command & Control
The system now supports simultaneous monitoring and basic control of multiple drone systems, including DJI Dock and M300 RTK models
- Video streams
- Map-based pins for live drone locations
- Remote control of automated dock systems, including mission initiation and monitoring.
Enhancements
- KML Data Imports: Functionality to designate project data as independent data layers on the map
- Optimised web stream protocol: Significantly reduced latency on live video feeds for improved real-time command and control during critical operations
- Hardware Support Matrix: Expanded tested and validated support for the M300 RTK with H20T payload, ensuring reliable data ingress
Geofencing
Users can now draw and manage geofences to define operational areas and visualize restricted airspaces on the map.
- 3rd party APIs for airspace data layers: Integrated third-party data sources to provide up-to-date information on controlled and restricted airspace
- User-defined
restricted
andfly-zones
map based polygons
Enhancements
- Map rendering performance: Optimized map tile loading when multiple complex polygon layers (geofences) are active
Team Management
Administrators can now designate user roles, assign operational skills, and log flight hours to track team readiness and training needs.
- Role assignments
- Training hours
Asset & Fleet Management
Introduced a system for importing and managing assets, including drone models, serial numbers, and vehicles, laying the groundwork for fleet management
Enhancements
- Image viewer panels are no longer fixed and can be moved, resized, or stacked, allowing for more flexible data comparison
- User profiles now include fields for logging certifications and total flight hours
Object Detections
Implemented a foundational AI model for generic object classification on all incoming image data, automating the initial tagging process.
- Semantic Search Capability: Users can now use natural language to search for data. For example, a search for “vehicle” will intelligently return results for cars, boats, and trucks
- Contextual AI-Based Filtering: Search filters are now enhanced to include AI-detected classifications, allowing users to rapidly sift through massive datasets.
Enhancements
- General UX Refinements: Introduced more interactive visual elements, improved button states, and refined layout flows for a more intuitive user experience
Sensor-aware Projections
- Interactive Geospatial Image Projections: Images are now projected onto the map view, allowing users to click a location to see the corresponding image and its metadata
- Manual Object Tagging: Users can now manually draw bounding boxes on images and apply tags to classify objects, events, or points of interest
- Basic Search & Filter by Tag: Implemented a search functionality allowing users to filter the dataset based on their manually created tags and classifications
Enhancements
- Image Metadata Display: The image viewer now clearly displays all key EXIF data, including GPS coordinates, timestamp, and camera settings
Introduction to Bases
- Multi-Tenant Workspaces (Bases): Introduced the core concept of ‘Bases’ to segment data, projects, and users, enabling secure, multi-tenant use of the platform
