A processing template is automatically applied depending on the type of mission and the operative system. For more information about templates: Processing Options Default Templates.
- Free Flight mission on Android: 3D Models.
- All other types of missions: 3D Maps.
Tip: For more flexibility regarding the processing options: How to customize the options for processing on PIX4Dcloud.

If the images are imported via the new dataset creation workflow, the following templates are applied:
| Type of flight and dataset | Recommended processing options |
| Nadir RGB images | Nadir Flight (3D maps) |
| Oblique RGB images (*) | Oblique Flight (3D models) |
| Terrestrial RGB images | Not supported; upload from PIX4Dcatch instead |
| Multispectral images | Not supported |
|
RGB images of agricultural fields
|
Nadir Flight (3D maps) with flat terrain checkbox enabled |
| Thermal images (**) | Not supported |
* Consider activating the Building reconstruction option to improve the quality of the outputs for building projects with homogeneous facades.
** Only JPG grayscale images are supported but not recommended. The results may exhibit radiometric errors, scale problems, and calibration inaccuracies.
Note: To further customize the processing options, upload the project files from PIX4Dmapper.
Upload from PIX4Dmapper
PIX4Dcloud processes images based on the project file (.p4d) that is uploaded. The processing options, which were selected beforehand, are applied.
Typical cases when this is useful:
- To customize settings based on specific needs. More information on How to customize the options for processing on PIX4Dcloud.
- To change the processing template of the project. More information on How to customize the options for processing on PIX4Dcloud.
- To use GCPs on PIX4Dcloud. Notice that PIX4Dcloud Advanced users are not required to upload from PIX4Dmapper to use GCPs. More information on AutoGCPs detection functionality.
Upload from PIX4Dcatch
It is possible to upload directly to PIX4Dcloud / PIX4Dcloud Advanced for processing after capturing the project with PIX4Dcatch.
The following processing options can be selected:
- Measure Volumes and Elevation Profiles: Select the option to generate a DSM.
- 2D Map: Select the option to generate an Orthomosaic.
