Last week at the Commercial UAV Conference in Las Vegas, Pix4D, a leader in geospatial mapping technology, showcased its latest innovations in 3D data capture and processing. Known for converting imagery from drones, aircraft, and mobile devices into highly accurate georeferenced 2D orthomosaics, 3D surface models, and point clouds, the Swiss company continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in photogrammetry and LiDAR integration.
In an interview at the conference, Ashley Reade, Business Development Executive at Pix4D, discussed the company’s unique approach to geospatial data solutions. “We aim to make accurate, high-quality data accessible to everyone, from experts in surveying and construction to those with limited experience in data capture,” Reade said.
A focal point of the conversation was Pix4D’s comprehensive workflow, starting with its PIX4Dcatch mobile app. Compatible with the latest Apple iPhone Pro series, the app combines photogrammetry, LiDAR, and GNSS technology to capture georeferenced 3D models with precision. This is further enhanced by a new partnership with Bad Elf, announced earlier this month, which pairs their RTK GNSS Rover with PIX4Dcatch for centimeter-level accuracy in terrestrial scanning.
