How to 3D map a disaster area with a drone
Map damage across neighborhoods after a storm or flood and share one current picture with every agency. Record one continuous drone video, upload it to SkyeBrowse, and open a large-area orthomosaic and 3D model of the damage that you can measure, compare, and share. Processing runs at about one minute per minute of video. Pick your drone below for the exact capture steps.

Outputs and measurements for disaster response
Orthomosaic and 3D model
Every model includes an auto-generated top-down orthomosaic alongside the textured 3D model.
Volume measurements
Calculate volumes directly from the model on paid plans.
Exports
Send GeoTIFF and LAZ files to GIS software on export-enabled models.
Frequently asked questions
Can SkyeBrowse map areas larger than one acre?
Yes. Use WideBrowse grid flights in the Flight App on fully supported drones, or fly a manual grid with orbits and upload the video through Universal Upload.
