SkyeBrowse has introduced a Roof Damage Analysis tool that measures roofs and screens for potential damage from a single drone flight. The update also expands GIS and CAD map exports and adds ground control point model correction.

Why it matters

The tool aims to speed roof inspections by automating measurements and damage screening while keeping a human inspector in the approval loop. For Texas-based inspectors and surveyors, the update offers faster documentation tied to recorded storm history.

The AI scan reviews up to 16 video frames and eight photographs in about 20 seconds and labels findings as "Likely" or "Possible." Pro pricing is $49.99 per model, or $39.99 with annual billing.

The players

SkyeBrowse

SkyeBrowse is a drone mapping and site survey software company based in Texas that serves inspectors, surveyors, and public safety users.

The details

After a pilot uploads drone video, SkyeBrowse builds a 3D model and automatically identifies the roof, which users can adjust as needed. The platform incorporates NOAA storm reports from the previous year, and inspectors must approve each AI finding before it appears in a report.

September: SkyeBrowse introduced AI vehicle damage analysis and crowd counting tools.
October: SkyeBrowse introduced Timelines for comparing up to 10 site surveys.
November 6, 2026: Roof Damage Analysis and mapping updates were announced.

Storm Record Link

By pulling NOAA storm reports from the previous year into its platform, the tool ties individual roof assessments to the documented severe weather record for a property's area. This approach places drone-based roof screening alongside federal storm data rather than relying solely on on-site observation.

Property owners and inspectors who use drone surveys can evaluate whether the tool's roof measurements and damage flags fit their workflow. Pro pricing is $49.99 per model, or $39.99 per model with annual billing, and the features are available on SkyeBrowse Pro and Public Safety & Enterprise plans.

The takeaway

Drone-based roof inspection is shifting toward automated screening with human sign-off, and anyone relying on these reports should confirm each flagged finding before acting on it.
