Skydio is the leading U.S. drone manufacturer and world leader in autonomous flight. Skydio leverages breakthrough AI to create the world’s most intelligent flying machines for use by consumer, enterprise, and government customers.
This mock crime scene was captured by Carl Blando of the Boston Police Department using 3D Scan on a Skydio 2. 3D Scan’s Adaptive Mapping algorithms design a unique pattern for each scene to capture full coverage of any accident, and create a comprehensive model for crime and accident scene reconstructionists.
This model, featuring 210 photos, contains incredible detail of all sides and angles of the car wreck, which would be impossible to document with a manual drone’s simplistic top-down flight.
Accident scene reconstructionists face the challenge of documenting the scene quickly and accurately to get high-quality data with minimal disruption. However, photos taken manually often do not tell the full story, and the metallic structure and unpredictable nature of an accident scene can be difficult for manual drones to navigate near.
