Point cloud and frame review side by side
Review a selected Elios capture against its spatial point cloud context, with inspection metadata and capture controls visible in the same workspace.
Process, post, and visualise Elios inspection data in SmartData
Bring Flyability Elios inspection packages into SmartData so teams can review confined-space point clouds, flight paths, frame markers, and linked inspection imagery in one workspace.

Confined-space inspection providers
A marketing path for confined-space inspection teams that need Elios data to become reviewable evidence, not just a folder of exported files.
Turn Elios captures into a shareable spatial inspection record.
Give asset teams point cloud context and inspection imagery without sending giant folders.
Use SmartData as the review layer for confined-space inspection evidence.
See the workflow in SmartData
Product screenshots show how hosted spatial context connects with linked inspection evidence inside the SmartData workspace.
Capture markers tied back to imagery
Use frame markers and the shot map to move from the 3D inspection context into the source image evidence without handing reviewers a loose folder.
Full confined-space point cloud context
Show the complete Elios inspection environment with trajectory context, capture clusters, and the structure visible as a hosted SmartData point cloud.
Image workspace with inspection metadata
Open the inspection image workspace directly, keeping the shot map, capture date, altitude, review controls, and point cloud link close to the image.
What this unlocks
Connect source data, SmartData processing, hosted views, and review outputs so operational teams can move from capture to decisions with less file handling.
Hosted point cloud views for Elios inspection packages
Trajectory and flight-path context
Frame and photo markers in the viewer
Standard SmartData inspection pane for linked imagery
Fresh upload workflow for processing-time image sync
Team review, annotations, and reporting handoff
Workflow story
1
Prepare the full-inspection Elios package with point cloud, trajectory, and image references.
2
Upload or process the package into the supported SmartData view type.
3
Open the point cloud with flight path and frame/photo markers.
4
Click markers or covered points to review linked imagery in the SmartData inspection pane.
5
Share the dataset with reviewers and export findings as needed.
Commercial use cases
- Turn Elios captures into a shareable spatial inspection record.
- Give asset teams point cloud context and inspection imagery without sending giant folders.
- Use SmartData as the review layer for confined-space inspection evidence.
Delivery notes
- The workflow can show point cloud context, trajectory, frame markers, and the standard inspection pane when the package supports them.
- Linked image sync depends on a correctly prepared package at processing time.
- Production-ready project data gives reviewers the clearest spatial inspection context.

Common questions
Straight answers about inputs, availability, outputs, and where human review still matters.
What makes the Elios page different from generic point cloud hosting?
The Elios message is about inspection context: flight path, frame markers, linked photos, and reviewable confined-space evidence.
Do old Elios uploads automatically gain image markers?
Not necessarily. The linked-image workflow depends on correctly prepared, freshly processed inspection packages.
What does a reviewer see?
Reviewers can move between the hosted point cloud, trajectory context, frame markers, shot map, linked imagery, and inspection metadata.
