How to 3D map a crash scene with a drone
Document vehicle rest positions, debris, and roadway evidence from one continuous drone video. Record one continuous drone video, upload it to SkyeBrowse, and open a measurable 3D model and top-down orthomosaic of the crash scene that you can measure, diagram, and export. Processing runs at about one minute per minute of video. Pick your drone below for the exact capture steps.

Outputs and measurements for crash reconstruction
Distance, area, and angle
Measure skid marks, vehicle positions, and roadway geometry directly on the 3D model or orthomosaic.
Crush & Claims Analysis
Identify each vehicle, align an undamaged reference model with the damaged scan, and review crush depths, CDC classification, and derived delta-V with stated assumptions. Free on every plan through October 31, 2026, then included with Public Safety & Enterprise models.
Factual Diagram
On Public Safety & Enterprise models, generate a court-ready PDF with a top-down overview, sketch page, annotations, measurements, scale bar, and compass when available.
Exports
Download LAZ, GLB, OBJ, USDZ, GeoTIFF, and CAD files for forensic and CAD software on export-enabled models.
Frequently asked questions
Does SkyeBrowse determine how a crash happened?
No. SkyeBrowse documents and measures the scene. AI approach-path predictions are editable hypotheses for review, and AI Factual Diagram drafts neutral factual descriptions only. Neither establishes fault, speed, or cause.
How accurate is a SkyeBrowse crash scene model?
Public Safety & Enterprise models reach 0.1 inch accuracy and Commercial models reach 0.5 inch, without ground control points. Placing a known-size object in the scene gives you a check measurement.
