3D Crime Scene Software Training with PIX4D & Drone Integration

On Tuesday, May 22nd, MAXSUR of Liberty Hill, Texas hosted a sold-out training session on two of the latest law enforcement tools: drones and PIX4D 3D crime scene mapping software. Investigators from across Texas attended to gain hands-on instruction in both aerial operations and forensic scene documentation.

Trainees received basic drone flight instruction and the opportunity to pilot the aircraft themselves. The drone training directly supported the software segment, demonstrating how affordable, high-resolution cameras can be deployed over crime scenes to capture detailed imagery. Compared to manned solutions, drones provide faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective coverage.

During the exercise, Instructor Eric Davis conducted a ten-minute flight of a mock fatality scene. Using a PIX4D-equipped laptop, he showed how captured photos were automatically processed into a full 3D rendering. Investigators could then explore, view, and measure the scene from any angle with true-to-life accuracy.

MAXSUR continues to support law enforcement agencies with training and operational solutions for crime scene photogrammetry and drone integration.
