Pix4Dsurvey
Bridge the gap between photogrammetry and CAD
Features
Capture
Capture images or point clouds with a drone or any laser scanner.
When using a drone, automate and optimize your flights with the free Pix4Dcapture mobile app.
Model
Transform your images into digital point clouds, and import them into Pix4Dsurvey.
Work directly with Pix4Dmapper or Pix4Dmatic files, as well as any .las or .laz file.
Vectorize
Generate a TIN to model the ground and create engineering-ready CAD vector files from point cloud data by extracting key elements of your project with Pix4Dsurvey.
Integrate
Open your simplified, accurate data in any CAD or GIS software with custom layers and properties that fit your existing workflow.
Beyond the point
Extract only the most relevant information to speed up and simplify your surveying workflows
Vectorize anything
Use the combined power of images and point clouds to extract key elements from photogrammetry, laser scanning or LiDAR data. Survey curbs, building footprints, walls, catenary curves and more.
Flexible & scalable
Work with small to very large projects. More than one photogrammetry or laser scanning file can be worked on at once, easily.
CAD ready
Include layers and properties for a smooth transition to CAD or GIS and reduce file size when exporting your projects as vector files.
Built-in vectorization tools
Vectorize your project using points, polylines, polygons and catenary curves with just a few clicks.
Create surfaces
Model the ground with a TIN from points and breaklines to represent the topography of your project. Automate the creation of spot elevations and allow drastic simplification of the number of point cloud points.
Unlock more data
Move beyond photogrammetry, yet still work with Pix4D’s rayCloud to access the original images and 3D point clouds simultaneously. Vectorize in 3D, edit in 2D. Even complex objects such as catenaries only visible in images can be surveyed.
Scale up
Pix4Dsurvey can handle billions of points. Work with more than one point cloud file at a time, in the same project.
Integrated solution
Pix4Dsurvey works with your existing workflows. Import .p4d files from Pix4Dmapper at the click of a button, or work with LAS files.
Easy export
Every surveyed object can be assigned to a layer and edited. Layers can be exported separately or together for a smooth transition to your preferred CAD or GIS software.
Your choice of point cloud
Import projects from Pix4Dmapper, Pix4Dmatic, or any .las or .laz file.
Aerial data
Create a point cloud from images in Pix4Dmapper or Pix4Dmatic, and drag and drop the .p4d or .p4m file to Pix4Dsurvey.
Laser scanner or LiDAR
Pix4Dsurvey works with any point cloud formatted as a .las or .laz file.

| External point cloud import | Import a point cloud from different sources, such as LiDAR, and use it to create a DSM and orthomosaic | |
Processing |
Processing templates | Automate processing and generation of outputs by using standard or customized templates |

| Camera self-calibration | Optimize internal camera parameters, such as focal length, principal point of autocollimation and lens distortions | |
| Rolling shutter effect correction | Correct the warp of images taken with rolling shutter cameras (like GoPro, DJI Phantom 2 and 3, etc.) to maintain good accuracy, especially useful when flying fast and low. |
|
| Automatic Aerial Triangulation (AAT) and Bundle Block Adjustment (BBA) |
Process with or without known camera exterior orientations: (x, y, z, omega, phi, kappa) | |
| Automatic point cloud densification | Produce a dense and detailed 3D point cloud, which can be used as a basis for DSM and 3D mesh | |
| Automatic point cloud filtering & smoothing |
Use presets for point cloud filtering and smoothing options | |
| Machine-learning point cloud classification |
Automatically classify the RGB dense point cloud into five groups: ground, road surfaces, high vegetation, buildings and human-made objects |
