## Capture the crash reconstruction with the Skydio X10

### Manual flight

The SkyeBrowse Flight App does not support the Skydio X10, so fly it in its native app. Record one continuous video while moving around the scene. Keep the camera pointed down at the subject, keep zoom locked, move smoothly, avoid excess sky, and finish with overlap where you started.

### 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 crash reconstruction

### Distance, area, and angle

Measure skid marks, vehicle positions, and roadway geometry directly on the 3D model or orthomosaic.

### Crush & Claims Analysis

Identify each vehicle, align an undamaged reference model with the damaged scan, and review crush depths, CDC classification, and derived delta-V with stated assumptions. Free on every plan through October 31, 2026, then included with Public Safety & Enterprise models.

### Factual Diagram

On Public Safety & Enterprise models, generate a court-ready PDF with a top-down overview, sketch page, annotations, measurements, scale bar, and compass when available.

### Exports

Download LAZ, GLB, OBJ, USDZ, GeoTIFF, and CAD files for forensic and CAD software on export-enabled models.

## 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.

### Does SkyeBrowse determine how a crash happened?

No. SkyeBrowse documents and measures the scene. AI approach-path predictions are editable hypotheses for review, and AI Factual Diagram drafts neutral factual descriptions only. Neither establishes fault, speed, or cause.

### How accurate is a SkyeBrowse crash scene model?

Public Safety & Enterprise models reach 0.1 inch accuracy and Commercial models reach 0.5 inch, without ground control points. Placing a known-size object in the scene gives you a check measurement.
