Any geo-referenced imagery/video can be uploaded and displayed in Birdi. This could be data captured from drones, your smartphone, DSLR or 360 degree panorama. Each of these types of data displays a different icon on the map view.

Drone data

  • Drone images will be displayed with a drone-like icon on the map. Drone images captured directly from above (nadir) drone shots will have a halo/circle around them.

  • Clicking on each drone icon on the map will bring up the image captured at that location.

360 degree panoramas

  • 360 degree images are visualized on the map with a 360 marker icon

Videos

  • Videos taken by your drone can also be visualized on the map.

  • If your video has an SRT file attached, it will display the video's capture path. When you click play on the video, the marker will move along the capture path to show its corresponding location on the video.

Ground-based imagery (smartphones & DSLRs)

You can visualize your ground-based images in Birdi as well.

Tip - You will need to ensure your geo locating is turned on in the device settings.

  • Ground-based imagery are displayed on the map via a circle icon.

  • With ground-based imagery, we cannot determine the orientation of the device when images/videos were taken (unlike drone data - where the icon shows the orientation of the drone when images were captured).
