Drone operators

Deliver the whole drone project, not a folder of files.

You already fly the mission and process the data. SpearAtlas is the workspace where those outputs become one client-ready project—maps, models, media, and documents in a single shareable experience.

The delivery problem

Capture is finished. Delivery is still a pile of links.

A commercial mapping job rarely ends as a single file. After processing you may have a GeoTIFF orthomosaic, a LAS or LAZ cloud, an OBJ or GLB mesh, a JPEG still set, an MP4 fly-through, and a PDF report. Those files usually land in Drive, Dropbox, email, or a generic share folder—each with a different link and no project story around them.

Clients then download formats they cannot open, or they ask which file is the map, which is the model, and which is the report. You spend the next hour explaining software they do not have, instead of walking them through the site.

SpearAtlas does not fly the drone or run photogrammetry. It receives the outputs you already produce and holds them in one project so the handoff matches the work you actually did.

  • Separate links for maps, models, video, and PDFs
  • Clients downloading specialist files they cannot inspect
  • Project context stripped away from the files
  • Repeat sites arriving as disconnected deliveries

How SpearAtlas fits

The delivery layer after processing

Your capture app, flight planner, and photogrammetry software stay where they are. When the orthomosaic, mesh, cloud, and media are ready, you upload them into a SpearAtlas project and arrange them in Mission Hub rooms.

From there you preview the client experience, share one project link, and let reviewers move between the map, the 3D Space, imagery, video, and supporting files without assembling the package themselves.

Mission hub with structured rooms for organizing mapping and reality capture deliverables

  1. 01

    Capture / process

    Your drone, scanner, photogrammetry, or reconstruction software produces the files. SpearAtlas is not in this step.

    Step 1 of 4

  2. 02

    Organize in SpearAtlas

    Upload the outputs into Mission Hub rooms so maps, models, media, and documents sit on the same project.

    Step 2 of 4

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Preview the client experience, then share one project link instead of a chain of folders.

    Step 3 of 4

  4. 04

    Client views

    Recipients review supported files in the browser, with the project context still attached.

Relevant deliverables

Formats this workflow typically brings in

Typical drone mapping packages include several of these supported outputs. Upload what the job produced—SpearAtlas opens each type in the matching room.

  • GeoTIFF / TIFFOrthomosaic map rooms for hosted GeoTIFF review.
  • LAS / LAZOptional aligned point-cloud layers in Space.
  • OBJPhotogrammetry meshes in the 3D Space room.
  • GLB / GLTFTextured 3D models for site and structure review.
  • PLYPoint-cloud layers, or Gaussian splat PLY in the 3DGS room.
  • SOGBetaGaussian splat package for the dedicated 3DGS room.
  • SPLATBetaGaussian splat files for browser preview in 3DGS.
  • JPEG / PNG / WebPInspection photos, progress stills, and supporting imagery.
  • MP4Hosted project and progress video in a dedicated room.
  • PDFReports and plan PDFs delivered with the same project.
  • CSVTables and field notes kept with supporting files.
  • DOC / DOCXWritten reports and scope notes in supporting files.
  • XLS / XLSXSpreadsheets attached to the same mission workspace.

A typical project

A typical mapping delivery

A 40-acre site flown for a civil client. Pix4D or Metashape has already produced the ortho, the dense cloud, and a textured mesh. The operator still has nadir stills, a short site video, and a two-page PDF summary.

  1. 01

    Capture and process

    Fly the grid, process in your photogrammetry software, and export the GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ, and mesh you already trust. SpearAtlas is not in this step.

  2. 02

    Upload into one project

    Create the job in SpearAtlas. Place the ortho in Maps, the mesh and optional cloud in Space, stills in Images, the clip in Video, and the PDF with supporting files.

  3. 03

    Organize the rooms

    Title the cards the way you talk about the job—Site ortho, Existing conditions model, Flight stills—so the client is not guessing file names.

  4. 04

    Share the project

    Open Client Delivery Preview, then send one link. The client reviews the map, orbits the model, and reads the report without installing QGIS or CloudCompare.
