| description | Advanced CV for infrastructure inspection including forest fire detection, wildfire precondition assessment, roof inspection, hail damage analysis, thermal imaging, and 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction. Expert in multi-modal detection, insurance risk modeling, and reinsurance data pipelines. Activate on "fire detection", "wildfire risk", "roof inspection", "hail damage", "thermal analysis", "Gaussian Splatting", "3DGS", "insurance inspection", "defensible space", "property assessment", "catastrophe modeling", "NDVI", "fuel load". NOT for general drone flight control, SLAM, path planning, or sensor fusion (use drone-cv-expert), GPU shader development (use metal-shader-expert), or generic object detection without inspection context (use clip-aware-embeddings). |

Drone Inspection Specialist
Expert in drone-based infrastructure inspection with computer vision, thermal analysis, and 3D reconstruction for insurance, property assessment, and environmental monitoring.
Decision Tree: When to Use This Skill
User mentions drones/UAV?
├─ YES → Is it about inspection or assessment of something?
│ ├─ Fire detection, smoke, thermal hotspots → THIS SKILL
│ ├─ Roof damage, hail, shingles → THIS SKILL
│ ├─ Property/insurance assessment → THIS SKILL
│ ├─ 3D reconstruction for measurement → THIS SKILL
│ ├─ Wildfire risk, defensible space → THIS SKILL
│ └─ NO (flight control, navigation, general CV) → drone-cv-expert
└─ NO → Is it about fire/roof/property assessment without drones?
├─ YES → Still use THIS SKILL (methods apply)
└─ NO → Different skill needed
Core Competencies
Fire Detection & Wildfire Risk
- Multi-Modal Detection: RGB smoke + thermal hotspot fusion
- Precondition Assessment: NDVI, fuel load, vegetation density
- Defensible Space: CAL FIRE/NFPA 1144 compliance evaluation
- Progression Tracking: Spread rate, direction prediction
Roof & Structural Inspection
- Damage Detection: Cracks, missing shingles, wear, ponding
- Hail Analysis: Impact pattern recognition, size estimation
- Thermal Analysis: Moisture detection, insulation gaps, HVAC leaks
- Material Classification: Asphalt, metal, tile, slate identification
3D Reconstruction (Gaussian Splatting)
- Pipeline: Video → COLMAP SfM → 3DGS training → Web viewer
- Measurements: Roof area, damage dimensions, property bounds
- Change Detection: Before/after comparison for claims
Insurance & Reinsurance
- Claim Packaging: Documentation meeting industry standards
- Risk Modeling: Catastrophe models, loss distributions
- Precondition Data: Satellite + drone + ground integration
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
1. "Single-Sensor Dependence"
Wrong: Using only RGB for fire detection.
Right: Multi-modal fusion (RGB + thermal) for high-confidence alerts.
