Features 

Accurate, fast drone mapping on a new scale

Pix4Dmatic is designed to work with the latest generation of drones for professional applications and transforms your large number of images into accurate point clouds, DSMs and orthomosaics.

Bigger datasets, accurate results

Pix4Dmatic processes thousands of images while maintaining survey-grade accuracy, halving the processing time, without the trouble of splitting and merging.

Fully automated processing

Developed in close-collaboration with surveyors and mapping professionals to streamline your workflow: import, process and assess the quality of a project in just a few clicks, and move seamlessly from Pix4Dmatic to Pix4Dsurvey. 

Future-proofed for BVLOS

Pix4Dmatic is ready to support the large datasets generated by BVLOS* (beyond visual line of sight) drone flights.

Accurate 3D maps and models from thousands of images

 

FAST PROCESSING

Handling and processing large amounts of data is easy with Pix4Dmatic.
Get your results up to 50% faster, while keeping a survey-grade accuracy.

 

EASY ACCURACY CHECKS

Ensure the accuracy of your project with GCPs, Checkpoints, or Manual Tie Points. Accuracy metrics are available in a dedicated tie points table and in an exportable quality report.

 

VERTICAL COORDINATE SYSTEMS AND GEOID SUPPORT

Pix4Dmatic supports the most frequently used vertical coordinate systems and their corresponding geoids.

 

FAST DEVELOPMENT CYCLES

Updates are released every three weeks in a new preview or stable version, ensuring you get all the latest improvements and features.

Full Feature List

 

Essential outputs, in a fraction of the time

without compromising accuracy

Dense point cloud

Generate dense point clouds for large areas. Each point of the point cloud receives the RGB value of the raster pixel that has the same location.
Export formats: .las

 

Orthomosaic

Create orthomosaics that are geometrically corrected such that the scale is uniform. They are color balanced in order to be visually pleasing.
Export formats: GeoTIFF (.tiff)

 

Digital surface model (DSM)

Generate a digital representation of all objects in the mapped area. It includes natural features as well as elevated objects, like buildings.
Export formats: GeoTIFF (.tiff)

 

Compatible with Pix4Dsurvey

Seamless export of processed projects into Pix4Dsurvey to transform point clouds into actionable CAD-ready data. Pix4D's proprietary .bpc file format is optimized for loading and manipulation of big point clouds.
Export format: .p4m

Advantages

Aerial (nadir and oblique) and terrestrial
imagery
Process images taken at any angle and from any aerial manned or unmanned platform as well as from
the ground
Video (mp4 or avi format) Automatically extracts still frames from video files to create a project
Any camera (compact, SLR, thermal,
multispectral, GoPro, 360-degree, largeframe
add-on, etc.) images in .jpg or .tiff
Use images acquired by any camera, from small to large frames, from consumer-grade to highly
specialized cameras
Multi-camera support for the same project Create a project using images from different cameras and process them together 
Camera rig support Process images using known rig relatives from multiple synchronized cameras, customized or from
known manufacturers for more robust, accurate and faster processing
Ground control point edit and import Import and edit ground control points to improve the absolute accuracy of your project
Known or custom reference coordinate
system support in imperial or metric units
Select EPSG code from known coordinate systems or define your own local system
Camera exterior orientation support Optimize camera exterior orientation parameters starting from GPS and IMU input parameters
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
Rapid Check with Quality Report Rapid processing template for a dataset quick check while still on site 
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
Automatic DTM/DEM extraction  Remove above-ground objects from DSM and create a bare-Earth model. For additional control, select
and delete points manually in the rayCloud to improve DTM/DEM generation
Automatic brightness and color correction  Compensate automatically for change of brightness, luminosity and color balancing of images
Automatic outlier detection Detect incorrectly-clicked MTPs/GCPs to reduce human errors
Quality Report 
 
Assess the accuracy and quality of projects
Project merging and splitting Combine multiple projects into one or split large projects into several for more efficient processing
Project area definition 
 
Import (.shp) or draw specific areas to faster generate results inside specific boundaries
Targeted Feature Extraction Give the number of features to find, getting more features in low-texture images to assist the
reconstruction or less features for large-frame images to speed up processing
