Claim 11:
12. A drone-mounted imaging system, comprising:
a drone,
an imager physically coupled to the drone;
a distance sensor physically coupled to the drone;
a processor communicatively coupled to the imager and the distance sensor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the drone-mounted imaging system to:
capture, with the imager, a plurality of images of building material objects within the shakeout field, wherein one or more of the images contains an identifying indicium for the corresponding building material object;
recognize the identifying indicium and compare the recognized identifying indicium to a plurality of identifying indicia on a lifting list;
measure, using the imager and the distance sensor, at least one dimension of one or more of the imaged building material objects;
confirm that the at least one dimension of a particular building material object matches a corresponding dimension for the particular building material object on the lifting list; and
transmit a message comprising a location of the particular building material object within the shakeout field.
