ACCURACY + EFFICIENCY

CONVERT + DELIVER
Pix4Dmapper is your complete mapping and
modelling solution to convert thousands of images
into geo-referenced 2D mosaics and 3D models.

Need to measure volume extractions or stockpile volumes for the mining

industry? Create NDVIs from multi-spectral sensors for the precision
agriculture sector? Generate contour lines and manage environmental
changes of natural resources? Produce precise and timely maps and
models for construction, cultural heritage or archaeology sites?

Pix4Dmapper automatically processes terrestrial and aerial imagery

acquired by light-weight UAV or aircraft using its innovative
technology based purely on image content. And converts your
images into highly accurate, precise, customizable and timely
results for a wide range of GIS and CAD applications.

Advantages
Process images taken at any angle and from any aerial manned or
unmanned platform as well as from the ground
Use images acquired by any camera, from small to large sensors,
from consumer-grade to highly specialized cameras
Choose the lens that fits your project, use wide lenses to increase the content
of each image, acquire data from closeby, interiors and narrow spaces
Create projects using more than one camera and process them together
(NIR and RGB for example)
Input various file types, including single or multi-band images
Import and edit Ground Control Points to improve the accuracy of your project
Choose from all known coordinate systems or your own local system
Calculate optimized camera position and exterior orientation
from a low grade GPS and without any IMU
Import a point cloud from different sources, such as aerial LiDAR,
and use it to create a DSM and orthomosaic
Process initial project results in low-resolution in minutes only
Assess quality and completeness of acquired images while still on site
Optimize internal camera parameters, such as focal length, principal points
and lens distortions, without the need of a camera calibration report
Process automatically with or without known camera position and
exterior orientation
Produce a dense and detailed 3D point cloud, which can be used as a basis
for DSM and orthomosaic generation
Remove building and vegetation automatically in the point cloud to generate
bare earth DTMs and contour lines. For additional control, select and delete
points manually in the rayCloud to improve the DTM generation
Use presets or edit point cloud filtering and smoothing options
Assess quality of projects
Process parts of projects individually and merge them into one project
Import (.shp) or draw specific orthomosaic and point cloud
densification/filtering areas to generate results inside specific boundaries
Assess flight plan, camera positions, inspect automatic keypoint matching
and add uncalibrated cameras
Annotate and edit GCPs (2D & 3D), Check Points and Manual Tie Points
with the highest accuracy, using both original images and 3D information
at the same time
Reoptimize camera positions and rematch images based on GCPs and
manual tie points to improve reconstruction of difficult areas
Remove points from 3D point cloud and create filters based on image content
Select and delete points from the point cloud
Annotate and measure polylines (3D breaklines) in the point cloud and
accurately refine polyline vertexes in multiple original images
Annotate and measure surfaces in the point cloud and accurately refine
surface vertexes in multiple original images; use the surface to simplify,
flatten and correct DSMs (e.g. for removing structures or tree stands)
