Pix4Dmapper version 3.3 released

Pix4D’s rayCloud is an iconic interface which connects 2D original images to the 3D reconstructed point cloud. In rayCloud, you can easily add and edit your GCPs/MTPs to improve your project accuracy, without having to go image by image for searching where the points locate. You can simply click on an approximate location in the rayCloud and modify it in the corresponding images displayed in the…

Comparable maps, anytime, thanks to Pix4D and Sequoia sunshine sensor

When you are a service provider with high client expectations, you need to be able to obtain quality results on a regular basis. When it comes to agriculture, producing consistent index maps is critical, regardless of weather conditions. If you try to investigate whether the pesticide treatment is working or not, you need to be sure the two maps you are comparing show the difference on the…

Ultra-Efficient Photogrammetry with Pix4Dmapper Pro’s Multi-Camera Rig Processing

As a professional photogrammetry software, Pix4Dmapper Procan easily handle multiple cameras in one project processing or for project merging. We commonly recommend our users to execute grid flights with nadir images for digital surface models (DSMs) and ortho mosaics, and double-grid or circular flights with oblique images for 3D modeling. Now we would also like to suggest another way for…

I spent part of the day hanging out at 16th Street Station in Oakland with a few mapping people from Autodesk, 3DR, Leica, and others, and it was a great opportunity to capture some mapping source data using a DJI Inspire 1 and prototype DJI Zenmuse X5 Micro Four Thirds camera. 

In typical fashion, I shot in both nadir and oblique (see the image, above), and ran the 188 source images through Pix4DMapper Pro. The model has not been cleaned up at all, and because many of the oblique images included elements that were very far away, including sky, there are some strange artifacts in the model. An overlay shows the source images and where they were taken from.
