IMAGE photogrammetry workflow data acquisition

Capture

Capture RGB, thermal or multispectral images with any camera. If you are using a drone, automate flight and image-data transfer with the free Pix4Dcapture app.

Digitizing drone mapping with Pix4Dmapper

Digitize

Pix4Dmapper transforms your images into digital spatial models. Seamlessly process your projects using the cloud or the desktop photogrammetry platform.

Quality results with drone maps and photogrammetry

Control

Assess and improve the quality of your project. The quality report gives a preview of the generated results, calibration details, and many more project quality indicators.

Measure areas, distances and volumes from images

Measure & inspect

Measure distances, areas, and volumes. Extract elevation profile data and perform virtual inspections.

share drone mapping results on the cloud.

Collaborate & share

Streamline project communication and teamwork. Selectively and securely share project data and insights with your team, clients, and suppliers, with standard file formats or online with Pix4D Cloud.

A variety of tools to power applications across industries

Desktop & cloud

Survey-grade results

Obtain results with sub-centimetre accuracy. 1-2 pixel GSD in X, Y directions 1-3 pixels GSD in the Z direction

Complete control over your project

Define an area of interest, select processing options, add ground control points or edit point clouds, DSMs, meshes, and orthomosaics.

Your workflow, your choice

Use default templates for automatic processing, or custom settings for full control of quality, data, and projects. Choose when and how to use the cloud and desktop processing.
