About
SkyeBrowse is a cloud-based 3D mapping and photogrammetry software designed to transform video footage — from drones, smartphones, or 360 cameras — into precise 2D maps, 3D models, and sketch drawings in just minutes. With an average capture time of 1 minute and processing time of 2 minutes, it is purpose-built for speed, accuracy, and ease of use without requiring any coding expertise. The platform is widely adopted by public safety agencies, including police departments, fire marshals, and emergency responders, who rely on it for crash scene documentation, crime scene analysis, and real-time situational awareness. SkyeBrowse has helped agencies save millions of dollars — one department reported $4.7M saved by modernizing crash scene documentation — while being 2x easier and faster than alternatives like Pix4D. Beyond public safety, SkyeBrowse supports large-area mapping for construction sites, agriculture, and infrastructure projects, as well as instant roof inspections and measurements without the need for scaffolding or ladders. Additional features include Interior AI mapping, thermal maps, Night Ops AI, and Virtual Reality visualization. The platform is accessible via web browser, iOS, and Android apps, with models stored securely in the cloud for anytime access. With 50,000+ active users and 10,000+ models created from real-world incidents, SkyeBrowse is the leading drone software for first responders and field professionals.

- Accurate Measurements & Sketch Drawings: Deliver court-ready, precise measurements and scaled drawings derived directly from 3D model data for legal, insurance, and investigative purposes.
Use Cases
- Law enforcement agencies capturing and documenting traffic accident and crime scenes with precise 3D models for investigations and court submissions.
- Fire departments and emergency responders gaining real-time situational awareness with rapid aerial 3D mapping during active incidents.
- Roofing and insurance professionals conducting remote roof inspections and generating accurate measurements without physical access or scaffolding.
- Construction and infrastructure teams surveying large job sites with drone footage to produce scalable 3D maps for project planning and monitoring.
- Agriculture and land management professionals mapping vast areas across multiple drone flights to track crop health, terrain, and land changes.
Pros
- Extremely Fast Processing: With under 2 minutes average processing time, SkyeBrowse dramatically outpaces traditional photogrammetry tools like Pix4D.
- No Coding or Technical Expertise Required: The intuitive three-step workflow (record, upload, generate) makes it accessible to non-technical field professionals.
- Proven Real-World Savings: Customers report up to 90% reduction in data processing time and millions of dollars saved on field documentation costs.
- Cross-Device Compatibility: Works with drones, smartphones, and 360 cameras, giving teams flexibility in how they capture data on-site.
Cons
- Primarily Targeted at Public Safety: Much of the tooling and marketing is optimized for first responders, which may feel less tailored for general surveying or commercial use cases.
- Model Quality Depends on Footage Quality: Output accuracy is tied to the quality and completeness of the input video; poor capture conditions can reduce model precision.
- Pricing Not Fully Transparent: Detailed pricing tiers and enterprise plan costs are not prominently disclosed on the public website without signing up.
