How to 3D map a search and rescue area with a Skydio X10
To 3D map a search and rescue area with a Skydio X10, 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. Set scale with the Scale Tool and a known measurement, and Public Safety & Enterprise models reach 0.1 inch accuracy without ground control points.
Applies to the Skydio X10, X2, S2, and S1.
Capture the search and rescue with the Skydio X10
Manual flight
The SkyeBrowse Flight App does not support the Skydio X10, 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).
Scale the model
SkyeBrowse georeferences drone video from DJI .SRT and Autel .ASS subtitle files. For Skydio X10 video without one of those files, set scale with the Scale Tool using a known measurement, such as a tape you placed in the scene before the flight.
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 search and rescue
Rapid Upload
Does part of the processing on your device, makes the video file 10X smaller, and finishes processing in about 2 minutes. Built for quick models and areas with bad GPS.
Terrain tools
Topographical Map View colors the surface by elevation and Topographic Map overlays contour lines, both included with Pro models and Public Safety & Enterprise. Slope Map and the Profile panel are Public Safety & Enterprise only.
Public links
Anyone with the link can open the model in a browser, and the viewer tools work with touch on phones and tablets.
