Pix4D launches Pix4Dmapper

Pix4D is a solution to convert thousands of aerial images taken by lightweight UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) or aircraft into georeferenced 2D orthomosaics and 3D surface models and point clouds. With its advanced automatic aerial triangulation based purely on image content and unique optimization techniques, Pix4D enables civilian drones to become the next‐generation mapping and surveying tool delivering surveygrade accuracy.

While Pix4Dmapper’s fully automatic workflow stays as intuitive and easy to use as prior Pix4D software packages, it gives users full control over all tie points, calibration and results. Using the rayCloud, one can now assess, edit, interpret and improve results directly in the software thanks to the rays connection the 3D point cloud to the original input images. The rayCloud makes it possible to annotate and measure objects with the highest precision, to fully control tie points as well as calibration and even to use any annotations to reprocess projects in order to improve the overall project accuracy.

To help users get the most out of its ground‐breaking technology, Pix4D has invested in creating an extensive Knowledge Base that is constantly updated with latest articles, advice and tutorials. Supporting customers in all project stages is key to Pix4D, reason why both Personal Support as well as free access to the Knowledge base are included in the first year of Pix4Dmapper.

Pix4Dmapper is an integrated solution tailored to needs of industries such as Mining, Topography, Agriculture, Construction, Natural Resources Management and more. Output results can seamlessly be imported into any GIS and CAD software packages. True to its spirit of continuous innovations, Pix4Dmapper already includes industry‐specific developments for both the Mining and Agriculture market that will be extended over the coming months.

Pix4Dmapper is available both as a one‐time charge license and a monthly or yearly subscription model to give customers all options without any limitations in a package that scales to all needs.
