SkyeBrowse adds Roof Damage Analysis for drone inspections

SkyeBrowse's platform converts drone video into 3D models and 2D maps, and its customers include public safety agencies, construction teams and commercial drone operators. The Roof Damage Analysis release extends that base into inspection work: after a pilot uploads video, the software identifies the roof, calculates area, pitch and individual facets, and measures ridges, valleys and eaves used in repair estimates. CEO Bobby Ouyang framed the product around storm response, where a crew may have twenty roofs to check and one ladder.

The damage scan marks findings as 'Likely' or 'Possible' and requires inspector approval, and SkyeBrowse explicitly limits the AI to screening rather than determining causes, coverage or repair requirements. The platform also incorporates NOAA storm reports covering nearby hail, wind and tornado events from the previous year, and users can generate a PDF report with measurements, diagrams, photographs, storm history and reviewer approval.

The update also widens the mapping side of the platform. Exports now cover common GIS and CAD applications, DXF contour files let survey and construction teams work with elevation data in CAD software, and users can correct 3D models using surveyed ground control points, with corrections carrying through to measurements, annotations and exported files. The release follows earlier additions—Timelines in October and AI-assisted vehicle damage analysis and crowd counting in September—that together reflect an expansion beyond 3D model creation into automated analysis, measurements and reporting.
