How to 3D map a building or block for tactical planning with a DJI Matrice 30T
To 3D map a building or block for tactical planning with a DJI Matrice 30T, fly SkyeBrowse (Orbit) or WideBrowse (Grid) with Side Scan 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 3D model of the target area with Line of Sight, sun angle, and coverage analysis for briefing. 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 30 (M30) and Matrice 30 Thermal (M30T). The same workflow applies to the DJI Matrice 350 RTK (M350 RTK) and Matrice 300 RTK (M300 RTK), and to the DJI Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro, and Phantom 4 Pro V2.
Capture the tactical planning with the Matrice 30T
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 SkyeBrowse (Orbit) mode around the structure. When the lot around it matters too, fly WideBrowse (Grid) and add Side Scan, an orbital pass that captures facades and verticality.
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.

How do I get accurate measurements from Matrice 30T 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.
What does Line of Sight show?
Line of Sight colors areas visible from an observer point green and blocked areas red. A second observer adds a 2-way comparison. It is included with Pro models and Public Safety & Enterprise.
