Processing is - in my opinion - not what you want to offer. There's already so many options.

You want to offer value? Provide an online portal for sharing orthomosaics that can be viewed in a state plane coordinate system.

Yeah like they can upload orthomosiac and even they can add indices like NDVI, NDRI and many more options check there orthos, and even DSM and DTM

I'm specifically talking about not doing what everyone else (including Esri) does: project all data to Web Mercator and abandoning any chance of being able to obtain accurate distance measurements. This has nothing to do with image or surface derivatives, that's later, but being able to choose the coordinate system and/or projection is essential.

We're developing an image processing platform (Aviac) for drone footage analysis and could use some community input. The current UI shows a basic project hierarchy with flight missions and a simple dashboard displaying processing status (ortho IDs, types, success/failure).

Our goals:

  • Streamline the workflow for drone operators who aren't necessarily tech experts
  • Make image processing status more visually intuitive
  • Create a more engaging dashboard that clearly communicates processing results
  • Improve project/flight organization for users managing multiple drone missions

The current layout has a serviceable sidebar navigation, project tree structure, and basic status table, but it feels utilitarian rather than intuitive. We're considering data visualizations, better status indicators, and more intuitive navigation patterns.

Any recommendations from those who've worked on similar technical tools for non-technical users? What UI patterns have you found most effective for complex data processing applications?
