A qualified inspector confirms every mark, adds anything the photos cannot show, and writes the final findings, and roof access always follows your safety rules."

# How can computer vision help a roofer or inspector review drone photos of a roof after a storm?

Drone or pole-camera photos of a roof can be checked by a computer vision model trained on your own inspection images. It marks possible missing or lifted shingles, hail or impact marks, cracked tiles, damaged flashing and debris, places each mark on a roof diagram, and groups photos by roof face. Inspectors spend their time on the marked areas instead of scrolling through hundreds of photos, and the report shows the homeowner exactly what was found. A qualified inspector confirms every mark, adds anything the photos cannot show, and writes the final findings, and roof access always follows your safety rules.

## What this means in practice

- Plan a standard drone or pole-camera pass that covers every roof face in good light.
- Label photos from your own past inspections for each type of damage you report.
- Train or tune a model that marks possible damage and maps it to a roof diagram.
- A qualified inspector confirms each mark and adds anything only visible on site.
- Build the report from confirmed findings and share the marked photos with the owner.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it
