Survey report (PDF)

The Survey report is a PDF produced with one click from the project detail panel. Hand it to your client or archive it. It collects the project’s key data and outputs — only the layers that exist in the project are included.

The report is A4 and typically 4–7 pages long. Sections are numbered continuously; sections without data are skipped.

  • DroneField logo, SURVEY REPORT title, project name and date
  • CUSTOMER NAME, REGION, FIELD ID (the project name)
  • Drone (make, model, serial number) and Use RTK (Yes / No, with average accuracy)
  • Take Off, Landing, Total flight time (estimated from the image timestamps)
  • Flight Altitude (AGL), Number of photos, GSD
  • 1. Flight secure zone — a map snapshot with the flight route and the safety buffer around it (buffer radius = flight altitude, the 1:1 rule)

The finished orthomosaic on a full page. The page turns to landscape automatically when the field shape fits better that way.

The colour-coded surface model with its Max / Min elevation next to the image.

Every field boundary listed with its area, the Selected areas total, and the orthomosaic with the boundaries drawn on it. Obstacles and no-spray zones are not listed.

The active index map — the title carries its name, e.g. NDRE (range −1.0 … +1.0). The report always renders the full −1 … +1 range with a colour legend, regardless of the display range you set on the map.

Two pages:

  1. Application — Application Map — the Grid size, the Min. valid share, one row per zone (dose per hectare and area) and a Summary line (total amount and total area).
  2. Application plan — the application grid drawn in zone colours on top of the orthomosaic, on a full page.
  1. Open the processed project. The button only appears once the orthomosaic exists.
  2. In the project detail panel, click Report generation.
  3. A Save survey report dialog opens. The default file name is <project>_survey.pdf; pick a folder.
  4. Click Save. The button shows Generating… while the PDF is built.
  5. When done, ✓ Saved appears under the button and Finder opens with the PDF selected.

Open the PDF in Preview, Adobe Acrobat or any reader.

  • Size: A4 (portrait; full-page image pages may be landscape), ~4–7 pages
  • Images: JPEG-compressed, so the file stays small enough to email
  • Language: follows the app language
  • Customer and region — fill these in on the project; they appear in the header (otherwise ”—”).
  • Vegetation index — select the index you want in the report on the map before generating; the report uses the active one.
  • Application map — the report uses the application map stored with the project, even if the panel is not open.
