How to 3D map a building or block for tactical planning with a Skydio X10
To 3D map a building or block for tactical planning with a Skydio X10, 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 3D model of the target area with Line of Sight, sun angle, and coverage analysis for briefing. 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 tactical planning with the Skydio X10
Manual flight
The SkyeBrowse Flight App does not support the Skydio X10, 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Does the SkyeBrowse Flight App support the Skydio X10?
No. Fly the Skydio X10, X2, S2, and S1 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 Skydio X10 video?
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.
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.
