Three Ways to Capture the Road

The right imagery at the right stage.

Different stages of road maintenance can call for different types of imagery. At the start of a new maintenance contract, comprehensive 360° imagery can be used to establish a detailed visual baseline of the road network.
During everyday operations, still images can then be collected regularly to build a continuous stream of up-to-date visual information. Drone imagery can complement road-level collection when a broader aerial perspective is needed.

This gives you a much stronger lead-in to the three cards:

Make Image Collection Part of Everyday Operations

Collect more without creating more work.

Road imagery becomes increasingly valuable when it can be collected regularly and consistently.

With Autori Vista App, still-image collection can be incorporated into vehicles already travelling the road network. This allows organizations to collect imagery alongside normal operations and build a continuously growing visual dataset.

360° and drone imagery can complement regular collection when more comprehensive or specialized imagery is needed.

Plan Image Collection Around the Purpose

Start with what you want to achieve.

Successful road imaging starts before the first image is captured.

Collection frequency, coverage, image type, positioning, image quality and collection equipment should all be considered according to how the imagery will ultimately be used.

Autori helps organizations design an image collection approach that fits their road network, operational requirements and intended use of the imagery.

Why Organizations Choose Autori Road Imaging

Autori Road Imaging combines flexible collection methods with practical road imaging expertise to help organizations build reliable visual datasets from their road networks.

Choose the Right Imagery

Use still images, 360° imagery, drone imagery – or a combination of different approaches—depending on your collection needs.

Collect During Everyday Operations

Use Autori Vista App to collect still images from vehicles already travelling the road network and make regular image collection part of normal operations.

Cover Large Road Networks

Plan repeatable image collection across extensive road networks while maintaining a consistent approach to the collected visual information.

Improve Collection Consistency

Establish clear collection practices for coverage, frequency and image quality so that imagery remains useful and comparable.

Match Collection to the Use Case

Choose collection methods according to what you need the imagery for, from regular road documentation to specialized imaging projects.

Build a Foundation for Further Use

Create a reliable visual dataset that can be used with other Autori capabilities. Collected imagery can be brought into Autori Vista for viewing and utilization, while suitable imagery can also support AI Image Detection.

Expertise Behind the Image Collection

More than cameras and images.

Successful road image collection requires an understanding of both the technology and the road environment.

Autori has extensive experience in road image collection and visual road information. We help customers consider collection methods, equipment, coverage, frequency, image quality and operational processes.

Our expertise can support anything from establishing an ongoing image collection process to planning larger or more specialized road imaging projects.

From Collection to Visual Road Information

Use the right level of analysis for the job.

Collecting imagery is the first step.

Once imagery has been collected, Autori Vista provides the environment for viewing and utilizing visual road information. Users can review imagery and manually identify and document observations when human assessment is the most practical approach.

When image volumes become large, AI Image Detection can automate the identification of selected road defects, objects and maintenance needs. This is where automated detection brings the greatest value—processing large volumes of suitable imagery efficiently and consistently.

The goal isn't to automate everything. It's to use automation where it creates real value and manual analysis where it makes more sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Autori Road Imaging? Autori Road Imaging is Autori’s solution for collecting road imagery. It supports still images, 360° imagery and drone imagery, allowing organizations to choose and combine collection methods based on their road network, operational needs and intended use of the imagery.

What image collection methods are supported?

Autori Road Imaging supports still images, 360° imagery and drone imagery. The methods can be used separately or together at different stages of road maintenance.

For example, comprehensive 360° imagery can be collected to establish a detailed visual baseline at the beginning of a maintenance contract, while still images can be collected regularly during everyday operations. Drone imagery can complement road-level collection when a broader aerial perspective is needed.

How are still images collected? Location-based still images can be collected with Autori Vista App from vehicles travelling the road network. This makes it possible to integrate frequent, high-volume image collection into everyday road maintenance operations.

Do we need dedicated image collection vehicles?

Not necessarily. Still images can be collected with Autori Vista App from suitable vehicles already travelling the road network, allowing image collection to become part of normal operations.

360° and drone imagery may require dedicated equipment or collection services depending on the requirements of the project.

Can Autori help us plan image collection? Yes. Autori has extensive expertise in road image collection and visual road information. We can help plan the appropriate collection methods, coverage, frequency, equipment and image quality based on your road network and how you intend to use the imagery.

What happens to the imagery after it has been collected?

Collected imagery can be brought into Autori Vista, where users can view and utilize visual road information and manually review imagery, identify observations and document findings.

When image volumes become large, AI Image Detection can automate the identification of selected road defects, objects and maintenance needs.

This allows organizations to use manual review where it makes sense and automated detection where the volume makes automation most valuable.
