Post-flight processing & analysis using Pix4D’s software on cloud or desktop:
- Achieve survey-grade results from lightweight and compact cameras to large-frame metric cameras
- Usage of Ground Control Points (GCPs) for improving the relative and absolute accuracy of the model
- Generate and modify
- Point clouds
- Orthomosaics
- Digital elevation models (DSM/DTM)
- Index maps (e.g. NDVI)
- And more
- Measure distances, surfaces, and volumes
Important information:
Ensure you have the latest firmware installed on your drone and the app is up to date. The app follows the flight plan and does not avoid obstacles automatically. Pix4D accepts no liability for damage, injuries or legalities from the misuse of this app. Use only in safe environments.
