2. Overview: A modern approach for industrial monitoring
Traditional monitoring Smart monitoring
● Rigid plan execution without
possibility for last-minute changes
● Monitoring of construction takes long
time to be done
● Lack of accurate real-time data
showing construction progress
● Lack of individual approach to different
parts of construction
● Organized real time data
● Data is collected using various UAV-
mounted sensors (photo/video
camera, thermal imaging camera, IR
sensor)
● Use of predictive analytics and
specialized software allowing for
better operations planning and
adjustments

3. Overview: Using aerial monitoring in construction
● Gathering preliminary information
● Construction site preparation: orthophotography, DTM and DEM (3D mapping of the
area), determination of geophysical parameters
● Preparation of visual demonstration items for investors and clients (3D models,
"view out the window")
● Work progress control
● Workplace safety and security control and compliance supervision
● Additional source of data for decision making and improvement measures
● Prevention of and control over illegal construction
● Thermal imaging building inspection
● Creation of panoramic 3D views of streets, neighborhoods, and buildings
Advantages of aerial monitoring: ● real-time data
● advanced data processing
● fine-tuning of the construction

4. Application: 3D map creation (DTM and DEM)
● Aerial monitoring provides data for 3D object creation and area's
orthophotographic map
● Data is continuously updated and stored as an online map (see map.
karlssonproject.com)
● Interactive viewing of objects
Better control over the work progress and the ability to
provide investors and clients with the most recent visual
information.
Easier illegal construction detection for government
agencies.

5. Application: aerial photography and 3D scanning of
construction projects
● Aerial photo and video can be used to provide
clients with impressive visuals such as the view out
the future window at the earliest stages of
construction
● A clear demo view of a cottage community or
apartment complex being built, with additional
infographics directly on the map
● A 3D model of a construction project makes every
fine detail available for viewing online
● The model can be used in further planning,
including that of landscaping and interior design

6. Application: aerial thermal imaging
Aerial photography with a thermal imager allows to:
● Detect construction defects - substandard
welds, roof leaks, air and heat loss, etc.
● Inspect pipelines to identify stress points
wear, coolant leakage, faulty equipment and
insulation damage
● Identify even the defects hidden underground
● The data gathered using thermal imaging can
be added to an interactive online map with
regular updates
● Save time and effort required for thermal
inspection of buildings and communications
