Texas-based mapping software developer Skyebrowse recently announced a brand new “Lite” tier for his or her flagship inexpensive photogrammetry software, making access to high-quality mapping more accessible for organizations than ever. While missing certain skilled tools and access to long-term CJIS-compliant cloud storage, Skyebrowse Lite is available in at $49 a month and includes a higher level of accuracy, higher priority processing, and a full yr of cloud storage than their pay-per-model “freemium” tier.
Skyebrowse stands out for its workhorse approach in an increasingly crowded photogrammetry space, offering most of the same features faster and more affordably than the competition. Able to accurately modeling indoor and outdoor spaces based on video footage from a drone and even with a smartphone, Skyebrowse creates comprehensive scans in as little as 1.5 minutes and may process them inside a half hour.
Their progressive approach also leads to faster processing times vs traditional photogrammetry competitors by harnessing already-collected flight path information via their integrated app to create the 3D model of the space, which is then overlaid with uploaded video to create speedy, yet detailed and accurate, 3D models.
Tailored for clients in public safety, Skyebrowse doesn’t claim to be “survey-grade”, but still has a big selection of applications in real estate, roofing, and construction. More information on their solutions is obtainable here.
