Industrial-Scale Digital Twins From a 25-Acre Drone Pass

Digital twins deploy when the geometry is real.

Infrastructure teams need a model they can measure, that covers large and complex areas, at a cost that works. With Spexi's standardized drone network, we proved Niantic Spatial's Gaussian splat reconstruction delivers exactly that.

  • How one 22-minute drone flight, with no low passes, no ground crews, no LiDAR, produces an industrial-scale digital twin

  • Why splats outperform meshes on complex, fine-grained structures like girders and chain-link fence

  • How our camera-pose and depth research (ACE, MicKey, ACE-G, MVSAnywhere) makes a splat that isn't just right-looking, but right from any angle

  • What geometric accuracy unlocks at city scale: inspection, monitoring, change detection, simulation
