Source health that stays visible
Terrain, buildings, vegetation, airspace and weather retain their coverage, freshness and failure state instead of disappearing behind a clean result.
Professional planning case study
Built to support the people responsible for the plan.
SighThor brings drone route visibility and terrain-aware camera coverage into one professional beta for drone pilots, camera installers, security consultants and organisations responsible for complex sites.
01 / The need
Professional teams need more than attractive geometry.
A useful planning workspace must explain which sources were used, where uncertainty remains, what the model found and which decisions still belong to accountable people.
One scene across every result
Camera, route, 3D and export paths stay bound to the same source evidence and calculation revision.
A clear next professional action
Readiness states distinguish what is complete, what needs attention and what blocks a reviewable draft.
02 / Method and architecture
Designed around accountable review from the start.
UK aviation requirements, terrain and LiDAR access, camera-design practice and source licensing inform an architecture built around frozen scenes and human-reviewed evidence.
- Product position
- Professional simulation and evidence acceleration — not an automatic permission service.
- Data model
- Preview, Enhanced and Verified grades remain separate from finding and report lifecycle states.
- Calculation contract
- One scene snapshot binds configuration, source evidence, engine version and deterministic outcome.
- Failure contract
- Unknown, partial, stale and failed evidence cannot silently become flat terrain or a clean result.
- Review contract
- Analysis remains a planning draft until competent human review; permission and authority outcomes stay external.
03 / Working evidence
See the site, the model and the remaining uncertainty.
Photographic scenarios show the operational context while the planning overlays make terrain, obstruction, overlap and areas requiring review visible.
Flight terrain proof
A route that shows where visibility confidence changes.
Terrain relief and changing route confidence remain visible in one professional planning view.
Camera coverage proof
Coverage shaped by the actual site, not a flat plan.
Buildings, perimeter geometry and vegetation visibly affect the model before a design is handed to a practitioner.
04 / Safety boundary
The work is strongest where it stays honest.
Wales Enhanced remains blocked pending authoritative datum evidence. Paid OSNI data remains disabled. Geometric VLOS and nominal DORI remain inputs to practitioner review, not automatic professional decisions.
Delivered capability
- Server-side bounded terrain and surface evidence.
- Deterministic camera and route analysis foundations.
- Visible source health and immutable provenance.
- Professional workflow and report-lifecycle architecture.
- Anonymous frozen proof and public methodology.
Independent work still required
- Aviation specialist review of UK rule packs and evidence wording.
- CCTV practitioner comparison with measured field scenes.
- Operational feedback from pilots, installers and consultants.
- Source operations and licensing for each enabled deployment.
- Expansion only after credible demand and validation.
