Reality Capture / Aerial Thermal Imagery
Drone-mounted radiometric sensors capture temperature information across roofs, solar arrays, facilities, and infrastructure. Eagle organizes the resulting data in DroneDeploy so project teams can review mapped thermal patterns across large or difficult-to-access assets.

What It Captures
A radiometric sensor records temperature information at every pixel. Eagle processes and georeferences overlapping captures to produce a thermal orthomosaic, giving your team both the radiometric source imagery and a continuous mapped view of recorded temperature patterns.
Each radiometric pixel retains temperature information from the captured image.
Processed and georeferenced imagery places the recorded temperature information across the documented asset.
Aerial collection documents variation across large, elevated, or difficult-to-access areas.
Common Applications
Document temperature patterns across large roof areas and building envelopes in a single mapped view.
Commercial, multifamily, institutional, and other large-building applications.
Capture broad temperature variation across extensive panel fields while retaining radiometric detail for closer review.
Utility-scale and large-site solar coverage.
Document elevated and difficult-to-access utility assets from an aerial perspective.
Transmission, distribution, and accessible utility infrastructure.
Extend thermal coverage across large facilities, rooftop equipment, operating areas, and other expansive assets.
Industrial plants, data centers, campuses, and large facilities.
The standard thermal package combines authorized project access, mapped thermal products, radiometric source imagery, and the available temperature-review controls within the project workspace.
PROJECT WORKSPACE — RADIOMETRIC THERMAL LAYER
From Capture to Technical Review
Mission planning, radiometric collection, processing, georeferencing, quality review, workspace organization, and authorized digital delivery.
Professional interpretation, follow-up investigation, diagnosis, and recommendations based on the delivered data and other available project information.
How Eagle Delivers Thermal Data
01
Confirm the area, intended use, intended users, access requirements, schedule, and required deliverables.
02
Review site access, applicable FAA airspace, operating restrictions, authorization requirements, operating conditions, required coverage, and the appropriate UAS configuration.
03
Acquire overlapping radiometric imagery across the area included in the agreed scope.
04
Process and georeference the captured imagery, complete quality review, organize the thermal products and project workspace, and provide authorized access.
Aircraft & Project Requirements
Eagle uses quad UAS platforms equipped for radiometric thermal collection across roofs, facilities, solar arrays, equipment areas, and other accessible assets. The aircraft and mission are selected around the required coverage, operating environment, procurement conditions, and agreed deliverables.
Flight operations are conducted under FAA Part 107 by pilots holding FAA Remote Pilot Certificates.
Eagle can deploy qualifying aircraft and sensor configurations when a project includes applicable federal procurement or supply-chain requirements.
Blue UAS Approved aircraft may be available when specified by the project, client, agency, or site requirements.
From its Denton and Waco offices, Eagle supports aerial thermal assignments across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Central Texas, and projects throughout Texas, with select Reality Capture assignments supported outside the state.

Aerial thermal imaging uses a radiometric thermal sensor mounted on a UAS to capture temperature data across roofs, facilities, solar arrays, equipment areas, and other accessible assets. Deliverables may include georeferenced radiometric imagery and thermal orthomosaics in which each pixel contains temperature information. The data can help qualified engineers, consultants, inspectors, and analysts identify patterns or anomalies requiring further evaluation.
No. Eagle Surveying captures, processes, georeferences, and delivers thermal data, but we do not diagnose moisture intrusion, heat loss, equipment failure, roof condition, or other thermal causes. The client’s engineer, roofing consultant, building-envelope specialist, inspector, or other qualified professional interprets the information and determines whether additional investigation or corrective action is appropriate.
