      New dataset > GCPs automatization > Processing with GCPs/checkpoints - PIX4Dcloud

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

      Access: This feature is only available on PIX4Dcloud Advanced.

      To process a project with GCPs:

      1. Select Upload file.
        Upload GCPs PIX4Dcloud
      2. Browse the CSV file which contains the GCPs' details and click Open.
      3. The GCPs are imported.
        Note that the CSV file has to be in a certain format before being imported. For more information, Upload the GCP file.
      4. The Map displays the geolocation of the GCPs,the checkpoints,  the location of the images and the region of interest if it has been defined in Step 2. region_of_interest_3
      5. (Optional) Click Replace file to upload a new GCP file.
      6. (Optional) Click delete.png to delete the GCP file.
      7. (Optional) Click Table. Switch between the two following options:
      8. Click Process to finalize the new project creation.

      Information:

      • Once the dataset begins processing, it is no longer possible to add more images or make changes to the processing options.
      • If changes to the processing options are necessary after the dataset has already begun processing, a new project must be created and processed from scratch.
      • If a user is unsure whether all images will be uploaded to the project (due to internet connection issues) or believes more will be necessary, Pix4D recommends disabling the "Start Processing Automatically" option. This will allow more images to be manually added before beginning dataset processing.

      Warning: The output coordinate reference system defined in step 3 of the project wizard (Coordinate reference system) has to be the one in which the GCPs and checkpoints were measured.
