New features offer more hardware portability, new damage detection capabilities  

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, December 13, 2018 – Loveland Innovations®, maker of advanced data analytics solutions and inspection tools and services, today released an update to their inspection platform, IMGING®, which includes enhanced AI damage detection features and support for the DJI® Mavic 2 Pro.

“We’re closing out a stellar year of innovation with a few updates our customers are really excited about,” says Leif Larson, CTO of Loveland Innovations. “The latest updates let users take advantage of the sleeker, more portable Mavic 2 Pro drones for their automated flights. Meanwhile, improvements to IMGING Detect® make it even simpler for inspection professionals to identify damage after the flight is done.”   

Launched in February of 2018, IMGING Detect is Loveland Innovations’ advanced AI and deep learning engine. Deep learning is an advanced approach to artificial intelligence (AI) that allows IMGING to learn as it gathers more data, which makes IMGING more sophisticated and accurate each time it’s used.  

According to Larson, the most recent updates are just the start of many new improvements to IMGING Detect. “We’ve laid the groundwork to drastically accelerate the training of our deep learning models and have lots of enhancements coming in 2019. IMGING Detect will soon be able to automatically identify dozens of damage types, materials, and even various objects across an entire property. We can’t wait to help users do better work with even more great features.”   

IMGING Detect is a part of the IMGING inspection platform and is included at no additional cost. Users can buy IMGING as a complete software and kit solution or as an app to run on their existing hardware. Those who already have a DJI® Mavic 2 Pro or Phantom 4 Pro drone and cellular-enabled iPhone® or iPad® can buy the software or hardware they need to start improving their inspection and estimating process.

Loveland Innovations Shows Why Invention Matters With Major Patent Milestone

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, October 30, 2018 – The team at Loveland Innovations®, maker of advanced data analytics solutions and drone-based data gathering tools and services, announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has awarded them their twelfth patent in eighteen months. At an average of one patent every 45 days since the issuance of its first, this strong pace of invention further cements Loveland Innovations as the technological leader in the roof and property inspection industries.

“When we founded Loveland Innovations, I saw a tremendous potential for drones and artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize the roof and property inspection world,” says Jim Loveland, CEO and Founder of Loveland Innovations. “As such, we set out to create a new, intuitive solutions to the age-old problem of accurately inspecting properties and buildings. The quick recognition by the USPTO in rapidly issuing a dozen of our patents is a huge endorsement of the big ideas that let us change the industry.”

The team at Loveland Innovations uses technology outlined in their patents to add forward-thinking features to their automated drone-based data gathering and analysis solution, IMGING®. IMGING helps carriers, roofers, restoration professionals, and solar surveyors inspect, measure, and analyze roof and property information using automated drones and sophisticated artificial intelligence.

The 12 patents that fuel IMGING include technologies like:

  • Intuitive automated flight patterns – IMGING flights gather ultra-high-res imagery of entire roofs and properties in as little as 5 minutes. The platform can automatically detect damage like hail on these images, create inspection-grade 3D models with architectural grade measurements, and give users the ability to interact with the data.
  • Object detection and avoidance – IMGING taps into a DJI® drone’s sensors to allow the drone to autonomously fly and position itself to get extreme close-ups of shingles, flashing, and any other parts of the roof.
  • Virtual test squares – Virtual test squares let adjusters use automated damage detection to analyze images representing a slope-matched, 100-square foot area of the rooftop.

“We feel the best way to build great things is to find excellent talent, be nimble, encourage creative exploration, and let our engineers do what they do best,” says Leif Larson, CTO of Loveland Innovations. “Our success is largely thanks to our incredibly talented team of developers. Our patents are a testament to their inventive spirits, passion, and tenacity. We’ve come a long way, and yet we still have so many more great things on the horizon.”

IMGING is available as a complete software and hardware solution (The IMGING Inspection Kit) or as an app that runs on an Apple® iPad or iPhone. IMGING is compatible with the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, which users can source themselves, or purchase as part of the IMGING Inspection Kit. Loveland Innovations also provides on-demand drone-based inspections through a service called Drone Assist, which leverages a network of certified drone pilots and the IMGING app to deliver customers with property data in just a few days.

Loveland Innovations Launches Drone Assist Complete to Provide On-Demand Claims Adjustments for $295

New service combines automated drone inspections and proprietary deep learning systems with top-notch insurance adjusters to deliver fully-adjusted claims

ALPINE, Utah, April 12, 2018 — Loveland Innovations®, maker of advanced data analytics solutions and drone-based data gathering tools, in partnership with Fourseventy Claim Management, a nationwide independent adjusting firm, announced the launch of Drone Assist Complete™, an on-demand roof claims adjustment service.

Building on Drone Assist—the recently announced drone-based inspection service—Drone Assist Complete goes beyond the inspection to deliver a fully desk-adjusted claim to a carrier. By leveraging drones with the industry’s most advanced deep learning engine for drone inspections, and the adjusting expertise of Fourseventy Claim Management, Drone Assist Complete is faster, cheaper, safer and ultimately delivers a more consistent end product than traditional third-party adjusting options.

“This is the next evolution of the claims process—a fast, extremely cost-effective and of course safe, full-service alternative to traditional claims adjusting,” says Jim Loveland, CEO and Founder of Loveland Innovations. “In those claims where drones are an obvious fit—and we think this is the majority—Drone Assist Complete just makes more sense than traditional adjusting or outsourcing to ‘steep and high,’ third-party companies. Using state-of-the-art technology and a forward-thinking claims adjusting partner in Fourseventy Claim Management, costs are much lower and the turnaround time is significantly faster. And of course, no one is climbing on a roof,” he says.

Matt D. Fatheree, founder and CEO at Fourseventy Claims, says his team is pleased to be a part of this pioneering new service. “We’re excited to partner with Loveland Innovations to bring fresh new tools and services to the market,” says Fatheree. “Leveraging the state-of-the-art IMGING platform, Drone Assist Complete will take several days off of cycle times and provide a much higher quality product. We’re proud to partner with Loveland Innovations to make this possible.”

With the addition of Drone Assist Complete, insurers now have two Drone Assist options, both of which use the IMGING platform for consistent, accurate roof inspections and the IMGING Detect deep learning engine for damage detection and more.

Drone Assist Complete is a full turn-key solution for insurers that want a claim adjusted from start to finish. Insurers can deliver claim information to Loveland Innovations’ pilots, who will inspect the job using IMGING. After inspection, the experts at Fourseventy Claims use the data collected with IMGING to verify damage and materials, create an estimate, and deliver a fully adjusted claim.

A regular Drone Assist is for insurers that wish to complete their own desk adjustments. They can define what they want inspected at a property and automatically assign the job to a Drone Assist pilot, who will inspect a property. Insurers can then complete the adjustment by viewing and annotating ultra-high-resolution images, viewing architectural-grade 3D models and virtual test squares, and by using damage detection through Loveland Innovations’ deep learning engine, IMGING Detect. They can then export key data into common estimating platforms to finish the process.

Depending on the option, Loveland Innovations and Fourseventy Claims will deliver inspection data or fully adjusted claims in around 72 hours. The cost is $200 for Drone Assist and $295 for Drone Assist Complete. Drone Assist is available to select carriers now but will become more widely available over the next few months.
