New dataset > Processing options > Output coordinate system - PIX4Dcloud

Create a new dataset to start processing imagery and create maps and digital twins of the reality or upload outputs to PIX4Dcloud.

• PIX4Dcloud always offer a default output coordinate system based on the location of the input images.
• If the output coordinate system is known and it is supported in the database, select Known CRS. Then, define the horizontal, vertical coordinate system, and geoid/or geoid height in case of not geoid.
• To define a custom CRS:
  • Select Import CRS file: Drag and drop a PRJ file defining the coordinate system. 
  • WKT2 files coming from site localization are supported.

Horizontal output coordinate system

Select the horizontal coordinate system for the project outputs:

• Search for the name of the coordinate system or EPSG code. Only a projected coordinate system is listed.

Vertical output coordinate system

Selecting the vertical coordinate system, the geoid model, and the geoid height is possible.

Geoid model: Several geoid models are available in the PIX4Dcloud. By default, EGM 2008 is applied.

Geoid height: When the geoid corresponding to the selected vertical reference frame is not available or doesn't exist, it is possible to specify the Geoid height value.

To select the vertical coordinate system:

1. In the Vertical coordinate reference system dialog, search or copy-paste:
   • The name or,
   • The EPSG code of the coordinate system.
2. According to the case, select also:
   • Ellipsoidal height as vertical above the geoid, or
   • Geoid model, or
   • Geoid height.
3. Click Next.
