What is PIX4Dengine?

PIX4Dengine is a set of programming modules accessible via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Developing Kits (SDKs) for extracting critical information from images, running on your infrastructure or on our cloud, and compatible with other Pix4D solutions.

Our interfaces are built to empower customization, automation and integration into any enterprise system and reality-capture workflows for photogrammetry.

Maximize your productivity with specialized features

The future of accuracy: AutoGCPs

The AutoGCPs feature automatically detects Ground Control Points (GCPs) in your project. A combination of machine learning and computer vision pinpoints the exact center of a GCP with pixel-level accuracy. AutoGCPs work with three types of target Haar patterns: square, diagonal and Aeropoints.

Sky and water segmentation removal

Reduce or completely eliminate noise created by sky and water segments with this new feature. Automatically remove the segments that introduce noise to the point cloud to get smoother, noise-free point clouds and meshes.



Disclaimer: water segmentation is beta feature


Removal of moving objects

With the moving object removal feature, you can automatically tidy your project by removing moving objects that clutter up your orthomosaics. Focus on the important areas and objects to get cleaner, more accurate representations of your project.

Multiple processing areas

Set up a field of focus to protect the privacy of the surrounding areas. Generate outputs reflecting just the target areas (of any shape and number). Apply the selected area to the point cloud, mesh, DSM, and orthomosaic to get more relevant results and eliminate unneeded areas
