How Observance Works

From scanning to insights, see how we transform construction site data into actionable intelligence

1

Scanning Schedule

Observance schedules a scan based on the uploaded project data by our customers

2

Scanning the Site

The sites are scanned using custom hardware created by Inkers, which is cost-effective, scalable, and simple to produce.

3

Sensor Fusion

The LIDAR, RGB, Thermal and IMU data is synced and fused together to create a multi-modal 3D models

4

AI 3D Processing

The fused data is processed for layout, construction and 3d deviations

5

AI Image Processing

RGB, thermal data and videos are then processed for concrete and leakage related defects and overlayed on 3D models

6

BIM Creation

3D data are further processed and converted to industry industry formats (BIM, Sketchup, IFC, etc)

7

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

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.

As-Built 3D Model

Measurable 3D BIM

Automatically generates an accurate, detailed 3D as-built model of the project site or floor.

Segmented 3D Model

Processes the 3D map through advanced segmentation for a clear and well-defined model.

Highly Compressed 3D Model

Optimized for easy access on Observance, fully navigable and compatible with web-based viewers like Autodesk.

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

Old Scan vs New Scan

Compare two scans or videos from different dates using a slider to highlight changes, with full support for Section Plane, Measurement, and Annotations.

Peel Off

Reveal synchronized models and videos to examine elements across different timelines at the same location.

Scan History

Visualize time-lapse changes over multiple scans, precisely aligned to track progress.

Side-By-Side Views

3D Scan vs Camera Video

View the 3D textured model alongside synchronized camera and thermal videos, matched to the closest 3D viewpoint.

3D Scan vs BIM Model

Compare the scan model with BIM using color-coded textures to highlight differences, configurable within a 0-1 meter range.

RGB vs Thermal

Synchronize and compare RGB and thermal camera videos side-by-side for detailed analysis.

Task Manager

Annotations to Tasks

Convert 3D annotations, snags, and PPE violations into tasks with start dates, due dates, and status tracking.

Task Features

Assign tasks to multiple individuals, create subtasks, and reassign tasks, all visualized on a detailed Gantt chart.

Access Controls

Hierarchical task management ensures subtasks are completed before parent tasks. Automatic audit trails document all changes.

Manpower Tracking, Health & Safety Analytics
