PRODUCT INFORMATION

PIX4Dscan is a professional asset flight application for iPad developed by photogrammetry experts for visual inspections from images. This companion of PIX4Dinspect allows for both manual and automatic drone flights (Cell Tower, Orbit, Cylinder, and Grid), to meet your mission’s specific needs and to collect actionable data.

PIX4Dscan provides two versions: Inspection and Inspection-Telecom.

The Inspection version contains functionalities used to perform general scanning and inspection of structures. The Inspection-Telecom version contains the additional functionality aimed at scanning and inspecting cell towers.

The Cell Tower mission contains the recommended workflow for scanning such structures. For the mission planning, points of interest such as the center and the maximum altitude of the cell tower need to be manually identified in the field. The mission is then created in relation to the measured position of these references.

PIX4Dscan is currently supported on iOS (iPad only). Pix4Dscan requires iPad OS 11.0 or later. We recommend using the latest OS version as it is usually the one used for internal testing. Pix4Dscan has been tested with the following devices:
