PIX4Dmapper

The leading photogrammetry software for professional drone mapping.

PIX4Dmapper converts aerial and ground imagery into accurate orthomosaics, point clouds, 3D models, and survey-ready maps. Compatible with virtually any drone or camera, it provides powerful photogrammetry tools for surveying, construction, mining, agriculture, and inspection professionals. Generate precise geospatial data, perform detailed measurements, and seamlessly export results into GIS and CAD workflows.

PIX4Dmapper Key Features

rayCloud™ Quality Control

PIX4Dmapper’s unique rayCloud environment connects every point in the 3D reconstruction directly back to the original images. This allows users to visually verify accuracy, inspect tie points, validate GCPs, and improve project quality with a level of transparency not commonly found in photogrammetry software.

Survey-Grade Mapping & 3D Modeling

The software transforms RGB, thermal, and multispectral imagery into highly accurate orthomosaics, point clouds, DSMs, DTMs, and textured 3D models. PIX4Dmapper is capable of delivering survey-grade results when paired with proper data collection and ground control workflows.

Automatic Point Cloud Classification

Using machine learning, PIX4Dmapper can automatically classify point clouds into categories such as ground, road surface, vegetation, buildings, and man-made objects. This significantly reduces manual editing and helps create more accurate terrain models and deliverables.

Color Point Cloud

The color point cloud uses RGB data from a raster for colorization. Each point of the point cloud receives the RGB value of the raster pixel that has the same location.

Exported Formats:

  • .las
  • .laz
  • .ply
  • .xyz

Classified Point Cloud

The point cloud is classified into 5 predefined groups: ground, road surface, high vegetation, building, and human-made objects. The results of the classification are used for the DTM generation.

Exported Formats:

  • .las
  • .laz

Orthomosaic

2D image map geometrically corrected such that the scale is uniform. Color balanced to be visually pleasing.

Exported Formats:

  • .GeoTiff (.tif)
  • .kml

Contour Lines

These are lines connecting points of equal elevation. They allow us to better understand the shape of the land surface (the topography) on a map.

Exported Formats:

  • .shp
  • .dxf
  • .pdf

Digital Terrain Model (DTM)

2.5 D model of the mapped area after filtering out objects such as buildings, that contains (X,Y,Z) information but no color information.

Exported Formats:

  • .tiff (Geo TIFF)

Digital Surface Model (DSM)

2.5 D model of the mapped area that contains (X,Y,Z) information, but no color information.

Exported Formats:

  • .tiff (Geo TIFF)
  • .xyz
  • .las
  • .laz

Index Maps

Each index is associated with an index map. For each pixel on this map, the value of the pixel is derived from the associated reflectance maps.

Exported Formats:

  • .tif (GeoTiff)
  • .shp

Thermal Maps

Thermal maps are 2D maps displaying the thermal information from infrared imaging cameras for each pixel.

Exported Formats:

  • .tif (GeoTiff)

Reflectance Maps

A reflectance map compiles the reflectance values of each pixel and geometry into a single function.

Exported Formats:

  • .tif (GeoTiff)

3D Texture Mesh

A representation of the shape of the model that consists of vertices, edges, faces, and the texture from the images that is projected on it.

Exported Formats:

  • .ply
  • .fbx
  • .dxf
  • .obj
  • .pdf
