How to 3D map a search and rescue area with an Autel EVO Max 4T
To 3D map a search and rescue area with an Autel EVO Max 4T, fly a manual grid with orbits in its native app, then upload the video to SkyeBrowse. SkyeBrowse processes it in the cloud at about one minute per minute of video and returns a top-down orthomosaic and 3D terrain model of the search area that teams can measure and share by link. 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 search and rescue 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. Fly a manual grid over the area and combine it with orbits around key features. Commercial accepts up to 3 videos per model (10GB each) and Public Safety & Enterprise accepts up to 10 videos per model (100GB each).
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.
