Overview
With the introduction of thermal cameras fitted to drones, the inspection industry for those assets that require thermal data has become easier to obtain.
Here at Hammer Missions, we have created the perfect workflow for your thermal data enabling you to collate and process your data through the Hammer Hub
In this tutorial, we will look at how you can achieve this.
Please note that Hammer Missions only supports processing of thermal images in the 'Iron-bow' palette at the moment.
