How to 3D map a fire scene with an Autel EVO Max 4T
To 3D map a fire scene with an Autel EVO Max 4T, fly it manually in its native app and record one continuous 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 fire scene that you can annotate with standardized fire symbology and share. Upload the drone's .ASS 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 Autel EVO Max series, including the EVO Max 4T.
Capture the fire scene documentation with the EVO Max 4T
Manual flight
The SkyeBrowse Flight App does not support the EVO Max 4T, so fly it in its native app. Circle the structure from multiple angles in one continuous video. Move around the building rather than panning in place, keep zoom locked, avoid excess sky, and finish with overlap.
Add the interior
Use the EVO Max 4T for the exterior. Record the interior with a phone (4K recommended, 60fps, wide-angle, slow and smooth) or a 360 camera, upload it with the Interior Mapping toggle on, and merge both models with 3D Overlay (Premium).
Georeference the model
Turn on .ASS subtitle recording on the Autel aircraft before takeoff. Upload the .ASS file with the video and SkyeBrowse georeferences the model automatically.
Autel setup tutorial
Follow the SkyeBrowse Autel EVO II and Max 4T tutorial to enable .ASS subtitle files for georeferencing.
Thermal variant
If you fly the EVO Max 4T, note that SkyeBrowse lists Thermal Mapping as a plan-dependent feature. Confirm it is active on your plan before you rely on thermal output.
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 fire scene documentation
Public Safety Icons
Place NAPSG fire, EMS, and all-hazards symbols on the 3D model and manage them from the object tree.
3D Overlay
Merge interior and exterior models into one scene for a walkthrough from the street to the room of origin.
Case Gallery
Pin multiple photos to a single annotation and page through them in a gallery scoped to that point.
Walk Mode
Move through the model at eye level with WASD keys and an adjustable eye height.
Frequently asked questions
Does the SkyeBrowse Flight App support the Autel EVO Max 4T?
No. Fly the Autel EVO Max series, including the EVO Max 4T 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 EVO Max 4T video?
Turn on .ASS subtitle recording on the Autel aircraft before takeoff. Upload the .ASS file with the video and SkyeBrowse georeferences the model automatically.
Can I combine interior and exterior fire scene models?
Yes. 3D Overlay stacks multiple models in the same viewer, such as an interior model on an exterior drone model, with no manual file switching.
