Findings & evidence

Every defect keeps its proof: frame, time and place.

Pause on a pothole, crack or missing marking and add a finding from the frame. RouteLens freezes the evidence so it can always be traced back to the original recording.

Short answer: A RouteLens finding is a persistent record of a defect or observation. When you add it from a video frame, RouteLens stores an evidence snapshot: the source file, source time, frame, GPS position, GPS quality and the decisions made, so the finding can be reopened at its exact video moment months later.

Capabilities

What findings & evidence gives your team.

Add finding from frame

Freeze the current frame with its source time and recorded GPS position in one step.

Structured templates

Versioned templates with required fields, severity definitions and SI quantities with method and source.

Owners and deadlines

Assign a person or team, set local deadlines and keep work orders with the finding.

Duplicates handled

Duplicate detection with reviewed merge and explicit unmerge. Bulk assign or archive with an eligibility preview.

Full history

Stable IDs, revision history of title and description, archive and restore with a reason.

Export with preflight

CSV register, GIS file and evidence ZIP. Preflight warns about missing evidence before anything downloads.

In detail

Evidence that survives handover.

Camera position and object position are exported as separate features
Attachments (JPEG, PNG, PDF) never get a guessed GPS position
Search filters can never silently drop records from a project-wide export
Older pins convert into findings without losing their evidence

Good to know: Quantities typed from video are estimates with a stated method. RouteLens does not measure engineering dimensions or roughness from video.

Questions

Findings & evidence: common questions.

What is stored with each finding?

An evidence snapshot with the source file, source time, frame, GPS position and quality, plus type, severity, quantities, notes, owner, deadline and the full decision history.

Can I export findings to Excel and GIS?

Yes. The export preflight shows counts and IDs, then produces a CSV finding register, a GIS file (GeoJSON) and a native evidence ZIP with a manifest.

How are duplicate findings handled?

RouteLens suggests likely duplicates. A reviewer merges them explicitly, and any merge can be undone with an explicit unmerge.
