How to 3D map a disaster area with a DJI Matrice 350 RTK
To 3D map a disaster area with a DJI Matrice 350 RTK, fly WideBrowse (Grid) 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 large-area orthomosaic and 3D model of the damage that you can measure, compare, and share. 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 350 RTK (M350 RTK) and Matrice 300 RTK (M300 RTK).
Capture the disaster response with the Matrice 350 RTK
Install the Flight App
Install the SkyeBrowse Flight App from the download page and confirm your controller against the supported drones list.
Automated flight
Fly WideBrowse (Grid), the automated grid flight for areas over 1 acre. Turn on Cross Grids for a perpendicular second pass with better lateral coverage, and reuse location and settings from Previous Flights when you return.
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.
RTK positioning
The Matrice 350 RTK is RTK-enabled, which further enhances positional accuracy. SkyeBrowse still reaches survey-grade accuracy without RTK or ground control points, so RTK is an added check.
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 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
Does the SkyeBrowse Flight App support the DJI Matrice 350 RTK?
Yes. SkyeBrowse fully supports the DJI Matrice 350 RTK (M350 RTK) and Matrice 300 RTK (M300 RTK): the Flight App flies automated SkyeBrowse (Orbit) and WideBrowse (Grid) missions.
How do I get accurate measurements from Matrice 350 RTK 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.
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.
