How to 3D map a crash scene with a DJI Matrice 30T
To 3D map a crash scene with a DJI Matrice 30T, fly SkyeBrowse (Orbit) mode in the SkyeBrowse Flight App, then upload the video to SkyeBrowse. SkyeBrowse processes it in the cloud at about one minute per minute of video and returns a measurable 3D model and top-down orthomosaic of the crash scene that you can measure, diagram, and export. Upload the drone's .SRT subtitle file with the video to georeference the model, and Public Safety & Enterprise models reach 0.1 inch accuracy without ground control points.
Applies to the DJI Matrice 30 (M30) and Matrice 30 Thermal (M30T). The same workflow applies to the DJI Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro, and Phantom 4 Pro V2.
Capture the crash reconstruction with the Matrice 30T
Install the Flight App
Install the SkyeBrowse Flight App from the download page and confirm your controller against the supported drones list.
Automated flight
Open the SkyeBrowse Flight App and fly SkyeBrowse (Orbit) mode, the automated 2-orbit flight for scenes under 1 acre. If the scene stretches past 1 acre, switch to WideBrowse (Grid).
Georeference the model
Turn on video subtitle (.SRT) recording in the DJI camera settings before takeoff. Upload the .SRT file with the video and SkyeBrowse georeferences the model automatically.
Process the video
Upload the MP4 or MOV file at app.skyebrowse.com. Processing runs at about one minute per minute of video, and most models are ready 5 to 10 minutes after upload. Public Safety & Enterprise models reach 0.1 inch accuracy and Commercial models reach 0.5 inch, with no ground control points.
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 the SkyeBrowse Flight App support the DJI Matrice 30T?
Yes. SkyeBrowse fully supports the DJI Matrice 30 (M30) and Matrice 30 Thermal (M30T): the Flight App flies automated SkyeBrowse (Orbit) and WideBrowse (Grid) missions.
How do I get accurate measurements from Matrice 30T video?
Turn on video subtitle (.SRT) recording in the DJI camera settings before takeoff. Upload the .SRT file with the video and SkyeBrowse georeferences the model automatically.
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.
