A lot can be going on the map. This guide helps to understand every data layer and how to work with it

​
Map & Data Layers

A lot can be going on the map. AlphaSight provides a flexible map interface that supports multiple data layers for enhanced situational awareness. Users can toggle the visibility of each layer and adjust its opacity to suit their operational needs.

  • Toggle Visibility: Enable or disable individual layers to control what is displayed on the map.
  • Adjust Opacity: Fine-tune transparency of each visible layer for optimal map readability and data overlay.

​
Supported Layers

Some layers (e.g. orthomosaic) require prior data processing or import. Others (e.g. tags) are created directly within AlphaSight.

​
Base Layers

orthomosaic-opscampus

Orthomosaic

A high-resolution, georeferenced aerial image generated from drone surveys.

​
Vector Layers

floating-photo

Floating Photos

Geotagged images from field operations, displayed at their capture locations.

paths

Paths

Visual traces of device routes from drones to mobile, auto-generated from telemetry data.

site-boundary

Site Boundary

A polygon outlining the operational site, typically imported or defined during setup.

annotation

Annotations

Geolocalised tags projected on map for situational awareness.

contour-line

Contour Lines

Elevation contours derived from terrain or LiDAR data to visualize topography.

​
Operational Layers

drone-fence-stonehenge

Drone Fences

User-configured virtual boundaries restricting drone flight to designated areas.

no-fly-zone

No-Fly Zones

Prohibited flight areas defined by regulations or operational policies.

​
3D Layers

3d-terrain-everest

Terrain

A 3D elevation model of the area, generated from photogrammetry or DEM data.
