Drone autonomy software company FlytBase partnered with drone reality capture platform SkyeBrowse to create accurate 3D models in near real-time.
Traditionally, generating high-quality 2D and 3D drone models is considered to be complex, expensive, and time-consuming.
FlytBase, SkyeBrowse Work on Rapid Drone Data Capture
SkyeBrowse will employ a patented technology called videogrammetery that will allow users to convert DJI or Autel drone video footage into detailed 2D maps. Moreover, this new technology promises that the maps will be available within minutes, instead of the usual hours or days.
"Our partnership with SkyeBrowse is a step toward providing public safety and emergency response teams with automated, safe, and secure data collection and instantaneous processing capabilities to aid in decision-making in time-critical situations," said Nitin Gupta, founder and CEO of FlytBase.
Moreover, the collaboration will be used to streamline reality capture for real estate, telecommunications, and distribution industries. The quick processing of drone models will become vital in making informed decision-making strategies in such industries.
Importance of Drone Mapping, 3D Model Creation
Drone mapping and 3D model creation are most utilized in developing response strategies and minimizing risks, especially in emergency responses. Drones are known for accessing remote and inaccessible areas that could be dangerous for humans, hence mapping is the best way to understand such landscapes.
FlytBase will contribute its advanced flight automation capabilities for capturing aerial shots and uploading them to the SkyeBrowse cloud. The drone footage will be used to generate "centimeter-accurate" 3D models in a short time.
"By combining FlytBase's advanced flight automation capabilities with SkyeBrowse's videogrammetry technology, we can enable public safety agencies, first responders, and enterprise users to quickly generate detailed, accurate 3D models with minimal time and effort," said Bobby Ouyang, co-founder and CEO of SkyeBrowse.
