Pix4D Survey

automated flight over buildings

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.

Integrated solution

PIX4Dsurvey works with your existing workflows. Import .p4d files from PIX4Dmapper at the click of a button, or work with LAS files.

import point clouds into the survey software

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.

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

engineering-ready cad file

Vectorise

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.

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.

simplified workflow

Integrate

Open your simplified, accurate] data in any CAD or GIS software with custom layers and properties that fit your existing workflow.

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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Import projects from PIX4Dcloud, PIX4Dmatic, PIX4Dmapper or any .las or .laz file.

Aerial data

Create a point cloud from images in PIX4Dcloud, PIX4Dmapper or PIX4Dmatic, and drag and drop the .p4d or .p4m file to PIX4Dsurvey.

Laser scanner or LiDAR

PIX4Dsurvey works with multiple point clouds at the same time formatted as an .las or .laz file.

TIN

From point cloud to TIN in a fraction of the time

Automate the creation of spot elevations and allow drastic simplification of the number of point cloud points. With a click, use this Grid of points to model the ground with a TIN.

Extract the same points you would use in the field with Smart Grid – it doesn’t create any data, but instead reads the terrain class for locations of elevation change, just like your field crew would take spot elevations along breaklines.

Next up? Take that set of points & breaklines and create a DTM in LandXML format that exactly reflects the points you have told it to use. Now you are good to go in your CAD or GIS!

What is PIX4Dsurvey?

PIX4Dsurvey bridges the gap between photogrammetry and CAD. It does so by providing access to the original images and the point cloud through Pix4D’s rayCloud™ to vectorize and extract points, polylines, polygons and catenaries for a shorter time to delivery. Additionally, PIX4Dsurvey supports very large datasets or a combination of many datasets with an optimal experience.
The software expands today’s possibilities by enabling the combination of photogrammetry and third party point clouds such as terrestrial laser scanners.

What is the difference between PIX4Dsurvey, PIX4Dmapper and PIX4Dmatic?

The main difference is that PIX4Dmapper and PIX4Dmatic are primarily a photogrammetry processing software while PIX4Dsurvey is a tool for the vectorization of geospatial data.
Together they cover the complete workflow for transforming the acquired information (images, point clouds) to a deliverable suitable for CAD or GIS software.

Can PIX4Dsurvey process data?

PIX4Dsurvey does not calibrate the photogrammetric projects or generate dense point clouds. This is done by photogrammetric software PIX4Dmapper and PIX4Dmatic.

On the other hand, it is possible to post-process dense point clouds in PIX4Dsurvey by running Terrain filter and Grid of points processes.

What is the difference between PIX4Dsurvey and CAD software?

The main difference is that PIX4Dsurvey supports the seamless import of PIX4D projects with accurate results and images.
Unlike CAD software with its focus on design, PIX4Dsurvey provides vectorization and extraction tools and is optimized for handling and manipulation of very large datasets and point clouds.

Can PIX4Dsurvey extract terrain points and generate a DTM?

Yes, PIX4Dsurvey can classify point clouds into terrain and non-terrain classes and generate a representation of the ground surface by only using the terrain points. The workflow is the following:

Terrain filter to classify selected input point clouds into terrain and non-terrain points.
Grid of points to automate the creation of spot elevations. Using the Smart type creates points only where changes in terrain occur.
TIN is a seamless set of triangles that represent a surface. When using only terrain points the generated surface is a DTM.

The TIN can be exported as a surface in LandXML file format which is fully compatible with CAD software.

Can PIX4Dsurvey replace the CAD products I typically use?

No. PIX4Dsurvey makes it easier to move from photogrammetry to your CAD product.

Can I import the vectorized data into CAD software?

Yes, PIX4Dsurvey exports vectorized data that can be seamlessly imported into CAD or GIS software using .dxf and .shp format.

You can import .dxf files into PIX4Dsurvey and use them as a reference and a base for vectorization. Snapping on existing vertices is supported so you can really take advantage of the preexisting data.

Do I have access to PIX4Dsurvey if I have other PIX4D licenses?

PIX4Dsurvey is not included in the PIX4Dmapper or PIX4Dmatic licenses. You can purchase it through Survey Drones as we are Irelands Reseller of all PIX4D Products.
