How to 3D map a fire scene with a DJI Mavic 3 Pro
To 3D map a fire scene with a DJI Mavic 3 Pro, 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 .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 Mavic 3 Pro, Mavic 3 Classic, and Mavic 3 Cine.
Capture the fire scene documentation with the Mavic 3 Pro
Manual flight
The SkyeBrowse Flight App does not support the Mavic 3 Pro, 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 Mavic 3 Pro 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 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 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 DJI Mavic 3 Pro?
No. Fly the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, Mavic 3 Classic, and Mavic 3 Cine 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 Mavic 3 Pro 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 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.
