How Observance Works
From scanning to insights, see how we transform construction site data into actionable intelligence
Scanning Schedule
Observance schedules a scan based on the uploaded project data by our customers
Scanning the Site
The sites are scanned using custom hardware created by Inkers, which is cost-effective, scalable, and simple to produce.
Sensor Fusion
The LIDAR, RGB, Thermal and IMU data is synced and fused together to create a multi-modal 3D models
AI 3D Processing
The fused data is processed for layout, construction and 3d deviations
AI Image Processing
RGB, thermal data and videos are then processed for concrete and leakage related defects and overlayed on 3D models
BIM Creation
3D data are further processed and converted to industry industry formats (BIM, Sketchup, IFC, etc)
Actionable Reports
Finally a succint and actionale reports are generated to get immediate understanding of issues, progress and status.
Scan Process
Capture Process
Engineers use the handheld LITHIC scanner to walk through the project site, capturing the data.
Scan Data
The LITHIC scanner collects RGB, thermal, IMU, and LiDAR data, stored on its integrated SSD.
Scanning Duration
A 50,000 sqft site can be scanned in approximately 45 minutes. No site pre-cleaning required.
Scan Period
Scans are performed periodically to update the 3D model with real-time site progress.
Drone Scanning
Leverage autonomous drone technology for comprehensive site data acquisition, enhancing safety and efficiency.
Drone LITHIC
Seamlessly integrates with drones for capturing both exterior and interior site data.
Geo Location
Drone outputs are georeferenced with 1-meter accuracy, enabling precise site placement on Google Maps.
Capture Process
Remotely piloted drones follow pre-programmed routes for complete site coverage.
Output Process
Collected data updates the 3D model, reflecting real-time site progress.

Thermal Analytics
Processing
Thermal camera data is synchronized with RGB camera data to the millisecond, creating a thermal-textured 3D model for precise thermal analysis.
Moisture Seepage
Remap thermal texture sensitivity to detect moisture patterns, enabling early leak and seepage identification.
Leak Profiling
Analyze MEP installations for integrity checks and automated leak detection.
Defect Analytics & Punch Lists
Snags AI
Automatically detects common snags like cracks, honeycombs, chipped surfaces, uneven textures, cement slurry, and moisture seepage, generating punch lists.
Annotated in 3D
Snag items are mapped onto 3D models as annotations with corresponding camera images for clear identification.
AI Training
Trained on over 400,000 annotated images, the AI detects 30+ defect types with high accuracy.
Slider View
