Skydio 3D Scan™

Adaptive Scanning for Autonomous Inspection Data Capture

Skydio 3D Scan™ is a first-of-its-kind adaptive scanning software to automate the data capture process needed to generate 3D models with comprehensive coverage and ultra-high resolution. Perform higher quality inspections faster with minimal pilot training.

DATA CAPTURE

Up to 75% faster

REINSPECTION RATE

Up to 30% reduced

VEHICLE & SENSOR COST

Up to 50% lower

Current Inspection Methods are Inefficient and Dangerous

Human Inspections

Tower climbs, snooper trucks, and other human-based inspection methods are expensive, time-consuming, and dangerous.

Manual Drone Inspections

Manual drones are expensive and have untrustworthy obstacle avoidance, requiring many hours of pilot training to avoid crashes.

SKYDIO 3D SCAN™

A New Era of Autonomous Drone Inspection

Perform Rapid Field Assessments

Skydio 3D Scan generates complete, indexed photo sets in minutes for assessment in field

Create Digital Twins

Use your current 3D reconstruction software to produce 3D models of structures, scenes, or assets

Deliver Detailed Inspection Reports

Deliver more detailed models to repair teams and asset managers

Document Crime & Accident Scenes

Skydio 3D Scan automates capture in close proximity to increase speed and data quality

Skydio 3D Scan Workflow

Complex Scenes. Simple Workflow.

Setup the Scan

Select one of the capture modes and follow the on-screen workflows to start the autonomous 2D or 3D scan

Start the Scan

The drone autonomously flies to capture the scene. Monitor the scan in real-time using AR Coverage and AR Observer features

View Data On-Site

Operator assesses data in field instantly using the Edge Model Viewer to easily click around the scanned scene

3D and 2D Capture

Create High-Quality 3D Models in a Fraction of the Time

Use 3D Capture to autonomously capture a structure’s surface from every angle with complete coverage and ultra-high-definition to generate 3D models with minimal pilot oversight, or generate 2D orthomosaics flying a planar pattern leveraging the power of full obstacle avoidance.

3D Capture 2D Capture

Document Complex Scenes Effortlessly

3D Scan’s Adaptive Mapping iteratively builds a flight route of complex surfaces using contour-hugging motion planning

Complete the Mission Accurately Without Needing to Refly

Save processing time with the Edge Model Viewer by allowing the drone operator to view a simplified 3D model on a web app directly from the drone to their laptop or mobile device in the field to validate that they have full coverage.

Compatible with Leading Photogrammetry Software

3D Scan’s Photogrammetry Compatibility lets you use leading 3rd party photogrammetry software to create 3D models, exporting high-quality scan photos with full metadata.

CUSTOMER HIGHLIGHT

Completing nearly impossible inspections more efficiently using Skydio 3D Scan.

“With 3D Scan, we are going to be able to efficiently capture high-quality images for 3D Reconstruction, saving us tons of time and energy in the field. It’ll be easier for the pilots, safer for our assets, and faster for our teams.”

Jarvis Worton, Global Platform Technology Analyst

Jacobs Engineering

Incredible Detail. Stunning Quality.

The future of aircraft and incident inspection is here - Skydio’s 3D Scan can generate incredibly detailed 3D models of structures with greater reliability, precision, and safety than manual methods.
