3D scan of intricate piping and industrial equipment

[FlareGuy]

Hello all, new here and fairly new to Skydio.
Is anyone else using this platform for Oil and Gas inspections?

I have a very large project for a major oil company to 3d scan pipe racks and equipment in cooling tower drift zones.
Just wanted to discuss best practices and any techniques from pilots experienced with 3d scanning using the Skydio 2+

Thanks,
FlareGuy

Hey mate

Yeah I work in that industry in Australia and we're using the S2+ Enterprise and 3d Scan

Not so much 3d Scan as we do CVI (close visual inspection) piping inspections on a gas plant and it's more efficient to take video and fly close with the reduced OA (3d Scan does not allow this during automated flights) so the inspectors can orientate themselves and just save frames from the video for their reporting

What do you specifically want to know about 3d Scan?

Old post, but we just purchased the 2+ for similar things. I'm poking around here hoping to learn something. We've been using DJI Phantom drones and Pix4D for many years to construct 3D point clouds of existing conditions for our projects. That, coupled with terrestrial laser scanning is very useful. We're hoping to get more detail and such from using the 2+ and 3D Scan.
