Pix4Dcapture 4.13.1

Pix4Dcapture transforms consumer drones into powerful mapping tools, offering a valuable companion to Pix4D photogrammetry software. This app automates the process of capturing image data, including RGB, multispectral, and thermal, to create precise 3D models and maps. With the ability to process post-flight images effortlessly on cloud or desktop applications, Pix4Dcapture provides georeferenced maps and models that cater to various industry needs.

The app has undergone testing and currently supports a range of drones, including DJI models such as Phantom 4 Pro V2, Phantom 4 Pro, Phantom 4, Mavic Air, Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro, and more. Additionally, it is compatible with Parrot drones like Anafi USA with Skycontroller 3, Anafi with Skycontroller 3, Anafi Thermal with Skycontroller 3, and others.

Key features and benefits of Pix4Dcapture include:

• Fully automated drone mapping
• Telemetry and camera live feed during image acquisition
• Various flight plans for different mapping requirements
• Adjustable flight parameters for each mission based on area-specific needs
• Saving or duplicating missions for repeated flights on the same area of interest
• Offline maps for storing basemaps with flight plans
• Option to change street/satellite basemap provider
• Seamless integration with Pix4D’s processing software for an efficient workflow
• Automated image transfer from drone to device
• Direct image upload from the device to Pix4D software in the cloud (requires a license)

Pix4D’s software, both on cloud and desktop, provides comprehensive post-flight processing and analysis capabilities. It supports a wide range of cameras, from lightweight and compact to large-frame metric cameras, enabling users to achieve survey-grade results. Ground Control Points (GCPs) can be utilized to enhance the relative and absolute accuracy of the models generated. Users can generate and modify point clouds, orthomosaics, digital elevation models (DSM/DTM), index maps like NDVI, and more. The software also facilitates measurements of distances, surfaces, and volumes.

To ensure optimal performance, it is essential to have the latest firmware installed and keep the app up to date. It's worth noting that while Pix4Dcapture follows the flight plan, it does not have built-in obstacle avoidance capabilities. Therefore, users should exercise caution when operating drones and take necessary safety precautions.
