How to 3D map a search and rescue area with a drone
Turn a search-area flight into a shared, measurable map that ground teams can open on a phone. Record one continuous drone video, upload it to SkyeBrowse, and open a top-down orthomosaic and 3D terrain model of the search area that teams can measure and share by link. Processing runs at about one minute per minute of video. Pick your drone below for the exact capture steps.
