Adding photos to field data is important in most data collection workflows\u2014from construction site inspection, property inspection, and utility examination to damage assessment and hazards reports\u2014and enhances the process of organizing and analyzing field observations with visual content. Here are some use cases:<\/p>\n
Photo inspection requires inspectors to not only collect pinpointed location information but also add photos to each record. The photos are often used as proof of inventories, or as proof of noncompliance to assist investigations with the reported issues. While capturing inspection photos is a valuable way of documenting the status and condition of the assets over time, the process of labeling, categorizing, and sorting photos after each site visit can be both labor-intensive and error-prone. It can also be difficult to locate and review photos without mapping them correctly to the asset that you are interested in.<\/p>\n
ArcGIS QuickCapture, Esri\u2019s rapid data collection app, helps you capture field observations with photos quickly. The Photo Inspection template<\/a> showcases how QuickCapture can help pipeline operators, first responders, or field engineers perform photo-based inspections more efficiently, saving time and money, and eliminate the errors introduced during tedious manual data entry.<\/p>\n With the tap of a button, an observation can be easily categorized, documented with a photo, and automatically mapped using your device’s location. As shown below, as a field worker, you can easily capture a record with the QuickCapture app by taking a photo that indicates the severity of the problem and add comments if necessary.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","start_time":"0","end_time":"","youtube_video_url":"
