AI Counting
DroneDeploy is developing capabilities to automatically count a variety of common objects, and we are able to build models for your specific needs.
DroneDeploy’s Count AI is an Enterprise Platnium feature which automatically identifies objects in the orthomosaic, allowing you to rapidly identify and locate hundreds or thousands of objects in your maps. The first counting modules that we are making available to our enterprise customers are car and orchard tree counting.
In addition or cars and trees, Count AI can be trained to identify and quantify almost anything in your maps. Customers have asked us to count solar panels, swimming pools, corrosion, valves, and oil and gas equipment.
The count shown is limited to the current geometry of the area annotation you have selected.
Anything that is clearly visible and distinct on the 2D Orthomosaic image, elevation map or plant health image, can be counted automatically given sufficient annotated training data. Please speak to your account manager to discuss the addition of a new object type for your specific needs.
