Birdi supports end-to-end data management — from capturing and uploading your data to processing, visualization, and export. This workflow outlines how different data types move through the Birdi platform.
1. Capture
Data can be captured using a range of devices:
Drone
Smartphone
DSLR camera
360° camera (GoPro, Insta360, etc.)
Video capture
Handheld or ground-based device (LiDAR)
Users can also upload pre-processed layers such as orthophotos, DEMs, or vector datasets.
2. Upload to Birdi
Captured data is uploaded to Birdi in supported formats, including raster, vector, point clouds, 3D models, and documents. Once uploaded, Birdi automatically organizes and stores your data within folders in the map.

3. Process
Birdi processes uploaded data into standard geospatial outputs such as orthophotos, elevation models, contours, 3D point clouds, and reports. Processing tasks are automated, ensuring consistent results across projects.
4. Visualize & Export
After processing, all outputs can be viewed and exported in industry-standard formats.
