Skydio 3D Scan™
Adaptive Scanning for Autonomous Inspection Data Capture
Contact Us
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.”
