The DNG Workflow for Drone Operations 14th October

About The Professional 's DNG Playbook

Are You Leaving Data on the Table?

You've invested in a professional drone. It's time to capture professional data.

All too often, professionals in the geospatial, AEC, and inspection fields are leaving unseen data behind. They're unknowingly sacrificing critical information to the limitations of compressed JPEG files, leading to missed opportunities and unreliable data.


We believe your drone is more than a camera; it's a precision sensor.


The Professional's DNG Playbook

This course is designed to transform your workflow. It's a comprehensive training program on a scientific methodology that will teach you how to capture, process, and manage DNG files to unlock the full potential of your drone's sensor.


What You Get


4-Hour Interactive Workshop

Join our expert-led session to learn the core principles of the DNG workflow. This is a hands-on, focused workshop designed to provide you with the essential knowledge you need to get started.  


Recorded and included in the material if you can't make it?



5 Hours of On-Demand Videos & Materials

Go beyond the workshop with five hours of detailed video content and project files you can consume at your own pace. These materials are designed to reinforce your learning and give you the confidence to apply your new skills to any project.


What You'll Master

  • The DNG Advantage: Learn the science of the DNG format and why it's the only choice for professional, verifiable data.
  • Dynamic Range Mastery: Use a raw editor to recover critical detail in shadows and highlights that would be lost in a JPEG.
  • The Verifiable Image: Learn to edit with a focus on geometric accuracy and data integrity, ensuring your images are fit for purpose.
  • Professional Workflows: Create a seamless process from capture to final output, including a guide to preparing DNG files for photogrammetry software.
  • The Findable Asset: Discover how to use metadata and a consistent file-naming strategy to make your entire archive instantly searchable.


This course is for geospatial professionals, engineers, drone pilots, and anyone who relies on a drone for data collection.


Stop leaving valuable data behind.


What You Will learn

The Workshop and course.

Master the DNG format and transform your drone into a precision sensor for inspections, photogrammetry, and asset management.


Course Overview: This intensive, 4-hour workshop, supported by 5 hours of additional video content, is designed for drone pilots and geospatial professionals who need to unlock the full potential of their drone's sensor. We move beyond basic flight operations to teach you a complete, professional workflow for capturing, processing, and managing DNG files. This is not a course on creative editing, but a deep dive into the scientific principles and professional methodologies required to turn your images into verifiable, actionable data.


Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Capture DNG files in the field with a focus on maximising data integrity.
  • Master a non-destructive editing workflow for technical applications.
  • Recover critical detail from shadows and highlights to ensure a complete dataset.
  • Leverage AI-powered tools for colour consistency and automated image analysis.
  • Implement a professional file management system using metadata and taxonomy for long-term findability.
  • Prepare DNG files for output to photogrammetry and inspection software.

Course Modules


Module 1: The DNG Advantage

  • DNG vs. JPEG: A deep dive into the technical differences, focusing on bit depth, compression, and dynamic range.
  • The Digital Negative: Understanding why DNG is the only choice for a professional who needs to preserve all the data captured by the sensor.
  • Common Challenges: Practical solutions for issues like low-resolution previews and software compatibility.


Module 2: The Science of Light & Midtone Realism

  • The Power of Dynamic Range: Learn to use a raw editor to recover data from shadows and highlights to ensure a complete dataset.
  • Mastering Midtones: A hands-on guide to using curves and levels to add subtle contrast and depth, creating a realistic-looking texture for your digital twin.
  • A "Corrective" vs. "Creative" Mindset: A final lesson on the philosophical difference between technical and artistic editing.


Module 3: The AI-Powered Workflow

  • Automated Image Filtering: Leveraging AI models to automatically filter out blurry images or those with poor lighting.
  • AI for Colour Correction: How to use AI tools for automated exposure and colour balancing across thousands of images.
  • AI-Powered Segmentation: Practical applications of AI to classify and isolate objects in your photos for environmental analysis or asset management.

Module 4: The Findable Image: Mastering Metadata for Efficiency

  • The Data Chaos Problem: Understanding the business case for findability in large-scale projects.
  • EXIF, IPTC, and XMP: A clear breakdown of the three key types of metadata and how to apply them.
  • Building a Taxonomy: Learn to create a logical classification system for your projects and assets to ensure everything is findable.
  • The Power of Automation & The Human Element: Discover how to leverage AI tools for automated tagging and the importance of a human-in-the-loop to add crucial project-specific metadata.


Module 5: Applications & Final Output

  • DNG for Photogrammetry: How to prepare and export your processed DNG files for photogrammetry software to ensure a flawless point cloud and texture map.
  • DNG for Inspection: Best practices for annotating and documenting your images to create a verifiable record for inspection reports.
  • Final Output & Metadata: A lesson on how to use metadata to ensure your final images are searchable and verifiable, adding to the professionalism of your deliverables.


Course Details:

  • Format: 4-hour live workshop (or pre-recorded video) with 5 hours of additional video content, project files, and exercises.
  • Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of drone operations.
