New Guide for Standard Guide for Visual Inspection of Building Facades using Drones (sUAS / UAV)
1. Scope
1.1 This standard provides guidance for determining and describing imagery parameters and project objectives for the acquisition of images of building facades by use of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). This guide can be used to establish a workflow which records information for the purposes of a facade inspection.
Qualified inspectors are increasingly reliant on drones (sUAS) for supplementing facade inspection work typically performed under E2270 or with guidance from E2841. This new standard provides supplemental information to Qualified Inspectors to communicate flight parameters to drone operators to achieve inspection objectives, and to drone operators to help understand the objectives of facade inspection work.
