QGIS Plugin & AI Vectorisation
Manual digitising eats up hours that should go into analysis, delivery and client decisions. One dense settlement can turn a simple mapping job into a long night of clicking vertices.
The FieldWatch QGIS plugin brings AI-powered building-footprint extraction into the GIS software your team already uses, so you move from imagery to editable vector layers faster.
Drawing every roofline by hand slows delivery and makes large mapping jobs hard to price confidently.
Different operators trace the same imagery differently, creating cleanup work before files are client-ready.
Exporting imagery to separate tools breaks concentration and adds extra steps before results return to QGIS.
Practical outcomes, not promises — here's what changes for your team.
Run AI vectorisation from inside QGIS instead of moving between separate web tools and desktop software.
Turn aerial or satellite imagery into editable building polygons you can review, refine and export.
Use the same plugin surface for imagery edits, solar planning and ordering recent drone imagery when your base map is out of date.
