How to 3D map a crime scene with a DJI Avata 2
To 3D map a crime scene with a DJI Avata 2, fly it slowly through the interior in one continuous 1080p, 60fps video, 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 of the scene with image walkthroughs, annotations, and a chain-of-custody log. Set scale with the Scale Tool and a known measurement, and Public Safety & Enterprise models reach 0.1 inch accuracy without ground control points.
Applies to the DJI Avata and Avata 2 FPV drones.
Capture the crime scene documentation with the Avata 2
Fly the interior
Fly the Avata 2 slowly and smoothly through the rooms at 1080p and 60fps with EIS on, then turn on the Interior Mapping toggle at upload. Indoor video often needs the Scale Tool and a known measurement. Universal Upload also accepts DJI Avata 360 videos in OSV format or as a 360 MP4 exported through DJI Studio.
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 crime scene documentation
3D Overlay
Stack an interior model on the exterior drone model in one viewer so investigators walk the whole scene without switching files.
Line of Sight
Place up to two observer points and see visible areas in green and blocked areas in red. Included with Pro models and Public Safety & Enterprise.
Case Gallery and Image Walkthroughs
Attach evidence photos to annotations and open auto-generated images along the capture path for finer detail.
Security and custody
Hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) with CJIS compliance maintained for Public Safety & Enterprise subscribers. Model access, user actions, and sharing are logged.
Frequently asked questions
Does the SkyeBrowse Flight App support the DJI Avata 2?
No. Fly the DJI Avata and Avata 2 FPV drones manually in the native app and upload the MP4 or MOV video through Universal Upload at app.skyebrowse.com.
How do I get accurate measurements from Avata 2 video?
Fly the Avata 2 slowly and smoothly through the rooms at 1080p and 60fps with EIS on, then turn on the Interior Mapping toggle at upload. Indoor video often needs the Scale Tool and a known measurement. Universal Upload also accepts DJI Avata 360 videos in OSV format or as a 360 MP4 exported through DJI Studio.
Can SkyeBrowse map the inside of a building at a crime scene?
Yes. Record slow, steady video with a phone, 360 camera, or FPV drone, turn on the Interior Mapping toggle at upload, and use the Scale Tool with a known measurement when the video has no GPS data.
Is SkyeBrowse CJIS compliant?
SkyeBrowse is hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) and full CJIS compliance is maintained for Public Safety & Enterprise subscribers.
