Description

PIX4Dcloud: Cloud-Based Drone Mapping and Site Documentation Platform

PIX4Dcloud is an online photogrammetry platform that processes aerial and terrestrial imagery into measurable 2D maps and 3D models directly in the cloud. It is used by construction managers, surveyors, engineers, and infrastructure teams to document sites, track progress, and generate survey-grade outputs without local processing software.

Using PIX4D processing algorithms, the platform transforms .jpg and .tiff imagery into orthomosaics, DSMs, point clouds, and textured meshes. Teams can measure distances, areas, and volumes, compare changes over time, and collaborate through a browser-based interface from virtually any location.

Core Features And Operational Advantages

  • Survey-Grade Processing: PIX4D algorithms generate accurate geospatial outputs.
  • AutoGCPs Integration: Improve accuracy using automated ground control enhancement.
  • Multi-Camera Support: Process mixed datasets within a single project.
  • 2D Orthomosaics: Export GeoTiff mapping outputs for GIS workflows.
  • Surface Models: Generate DSM and DEM elevation datasets.
  • 3D Point Clouds: Deliver .las files for engineering applications.
  • Textured Mesh Exports: Produce .fbx and .obj 3D models.
  • Measurement Tools: Calculate distances, areas, and volumes precisely.
  • Timeline Comparison: Track changes between image maps over time.
  • Design Overlay: Compare as-built and as-designed conditions visually.

PIX4Dcloud centralizes mapping, measurement, and documentation in a secure online environment. It standardizes deliverables using industry formats while enabling collaboration between field crews, engineers, and stakeholders. From construction verification to volumetric analysis, it provides consistent, measurable outputs that integrate directly into professional workflows.

What is PIX4Dcloud used for in professional drone mapping?

PIX4Dcloud is used to process aerial and terrestrial imagery into measurable 2D maps and 3D models. It supports construction documentation, surveying, volumetric analysis, and infrastructure inspection workflows. The platform allows measurement, comparison over time, and collaborative sharing of results. All processing occurs in the cloud through a browser interface.

Does PIX4Dcloud support multispectral and NDVI processing?

Yes. PIX4Dcloud supports multispectral processing and automatically generates NDVI maps. This allows users to analyze vegetation health directly within the platform. NDVI outputs can be visualized and shared with stakeholders.

What outputs does PIX4Dcloud generate?

PIX4Dcloud generates orthomosaics in GeoTiff format, DSM and DEM surface models, 3D point clouds in .las format, and textured meshes in .fbx and .obj formats. It also produces 2D vector outputs in .geojson, .csv, and .shp formats. A quality report in .pdf format is included.

Can PIX4Dcloud compare project progress over time?

Yes. PIX4Dcloud allows users to compare two image maps to identify changes. PIX4Dcloud Pro includes a Visual Timeline feature to track site evolution. Volume comparisons over time are also supported in Pro configurations.

Does PIX4Dcloud provide API access for enterprise integration?

Yes. The Enterprise configuration of PIX4Dcloud includes PIX4Dengine Cloud API access. This enables custom integration and scalable deployment. Enterprise options also support custom storage and pay-per-use models.
