Site Scan flight automation based on ArcGIS layer data?

Question

I am trying to help a local rural water district find out if an IR/thermal drone, likely a DJI Mavic 3T (enterprise), could be flight controlled/automated to follow a rural water pipeline as stored in ArcGIS layer data with Site Scan (or even other available software/apps)? Data processing less important for this use. Low elevation flight to detect leaks is their goal.

Hi @sblocker,

This is possible if using a drone and sensor supported by the Flight app. Unfortunately the DJI Mavic 3T isn't yet supported due to challenges supporting DJI drones after their discontinuation of iOS SDK support.

If you do have access to a supported drone, you could use a polyline feature layer to automatically create a Corridor flight, and either capture photos or video.
