The 3D Mapping Revolution – Powered by Skyebrowse

Did you know that 3D drone mapping is now incredibly simple and accessible to everyone? SkyeBrowse is a software tool designed for those who either want to try 3D modeling or already work with spatial data.

Want to learn more about 3D drone mapping? We’ve prepared an article answering the most frequently asked questions – explore them now.

How does SkyeBrowse work and why is it faster than traditional photogrammetry?

SkyeBrowse uses videogrammetry instead of standard photogrammetry. The system combines thousands of video frames into a 3D model. The pilot starts recording, flies over the area, and the software automatically interprets the continuous stream of data as a coherent 3D sequence. This eliminates the need for precisely planned flight routes with overlapping photos, which traditional photogrammetry often requires.

SkyeBrowse speeds up the entire process by reducing the number of steps needed to produce a model. Here’s how it works:

• The pilot records a short flight video (typically 60–120 seconds),

• Uploads the file to the SkyeBrowse platform (web or mobile),

• Receives ready-to-use 2D and 3D visualizations within minutes.

A 90-second flight can generate enough data for the platform to produce a full 3D model in about 10 minutes (depending on scene complexity and resolution).

Example: A fire department conducted a post-fire inspection. The drone captured the affected zone in a one-to-two-minute flight, and the data was uploaded to SkyeBrowse. Within minutes, a detailed thermal-visual 3D model became available, supporting tactical decision-making directly on-site.

This speed advantage defines SkyeBrowse’s value in mission-critical applications where every minute counts – traffic accidents, rescue operations, evidence collection, terrain monitoring, and infrastructure inspections. SkyeBrowse eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional data collection, providing near-instant results so professionals can focus on analysis, not data capture.

What Drones and Modes Are Supported by SkyeBrowse?

SkyeBrowse integrates with many popular drone models used across the United States, allowing users to start immediately without extra setup. Supported models include:

• DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise

• DJI M30 / M30T

• DJI M300 RTK / M350 RTK

• DJI Phantom 4

• Autel EVO II (iOS)

All essential compatibility details can be found on the SkyeBrowse website. Users can instantly record videos with compatible drones and upload them directly—no conversion required.

If your drone isn’t on the supported list, you can still take advantage of SkyeBrowse’s Universal Upload feature. Simply upload any video file (e.g., an .MP4 from your drone’s recorder), and the platform will attempt to generate a 3D model. This option is perfect for users with non-standard or hobby-grade drones lacking built-in SkyeBrowse integration.

How Much Does It Cost, and Who Benefits the Most?

SkyeBrowse offers flexible plans tailored to various needs:

• Freemium ($0) – a free starter plan for testing and trial use (with limits on resolution and model count per month)

• Lite ($39/month) – ideal for individual users needing quick access to 2D/3D models

• Priority / Premium (for agencies) – dedicated packages for public safety organizations (police, fire departments, etc.) featuring enhanced security (CJIS compliance, dedicated cloud, and SLA support)
