Capture

Capture images or point clouds with a drone or any laser scanner.

When using a drone, automate and optimize your flights with the free PIX4Dcapture mobile app.

Import

Import data from other Pix4D software or a .las or .laz file to PIX4Dsurvey and combine multiple datasets into the same project.

Work with both imagery data and LiDAR point clouds.

Vectorize

Generate a TIN to model the ground and create engineering-ready CAD vector files from point cloud data by extracting key elements of your project with PIX4Dsurvey.

import point clouds into the survey software

Model

Move from a lightweight point cloud to a model of your terrain. Use the Smart Grid, TIN, and terrain classification to get accurate, actionable results

Integrate

Open your simplified, accurate data in any CAD or GIS software with custom layers and properties that fit your existing workflow.

Beyond the point

Extract only the most relevant information to speed up and simplify your surveying workflows

Vectorize anything

Use the combined power of images and point clouds to extract key elements from photogrammetry, laser scanning or LiDAR data. Survey curbs, building footprints, walls, catenary curves and more.

Time-saving benefit

Work 50% faster when you vectorize from point clouds and verify in images, while the Smart Grid saves 1,000s of clicks creating spot elevations.

CAD ready

Include layers and properties for a smooth transition to CAD or GIS and reduce file size when exporting your projects as vector files.

Volume measurements

Create and measure the volume of any object, even against a wall or in a corner, with fast, simple steps.

Extract key elements in 3D

Built-in vectorization tools

Vectorize your project using points, polylines, polygons and catenary curves with just a few clicks.

Your choice of point cloud

Import projects from PIX4Dcloud, PIX4Dmatic, PIX4Dmapper or any .las or .laz file.

Aerial data

Create a point cloud from images in PIX4Dcloud, PIX4Dmapper or PIX4Dmatic, and drag and drop the .p4d or .p4m file to PIX4Dsurvey.

Laser scanner or LiDAR

PIX4Dsurvey works with multiple point clouds at the same time formatted as an .las or .laz file.

From point cloud to TIN in a fraction of the time

Automate the creation of spot elevations and allow drastic simplification of the number of point cloud points. With a click, use this Grid of points to model the ground with a TIN.

Extract the same points you would use in the field with Smart Grid - it doesn't create any data, but instead reads the terrain class for locations of elevation change, just like your field crew would take spot elevations along breaklines.

Next up? Take that set of points & breaklines and create a DTM in LandXML format that exactly reflects the points you have told it to use. Now you are good to go in your CAD or GIS!
