Can PIX4Dmapper process large frame images?

 

PIX4Dmapper can process large-frame images. Starting with PIX4Dmapper 4.10.0, no extra add-on is needed to import and process such images. For versions 4.9.0 or earlier, the large frame add-on must be purchased or the software must be updated in order to process images with a resolution higher than 66 MP (How to renew Support and Upgrades).

Without the large frame add-on

For PIX4Dmapper version 4.10.0 and above, there is no limit on the image size that can be imported and processed. No add-on is required.

For PIX4Dmapper version 4.9.0, 66 MP is the maximum limit for the image resolution.

For PIX4Dmapper version 4.8.3 to 4.8.4, 65 MP is the maximum limit for the image resolution.

For PIX4Dmapper version 4.8.2 or below, 55 MP is the maximum limit for the image resolution.

If a license has valid Support and Upgrades, upgrading to PIX4Dmapper version 4.10 or above allows processing images of any resolution. The installer is available in the PIX4Dmapper technical release notes.

With the large frame add-on

If you wish to process images with a resolution higher than 66MP and you are using PIX4Dmapper version 4.9 or lower, you need an add-on. Please contact us.

The large frame add-on is valid as long as a valid license is, regardless of the Support and Upgrades' status. (For example: If a perpetual license has purchased a large frame add-on, it will last as long as a perpetual license.)

If using PIX4Dmapper 4.9 or lower, the large frame add-on is needed to process images captured, among others, with:

  • Ultracam.
  • PhaseOne.
  • Leica RCD.
  • XCAM Ultra (WaldoAir).
  • A5D-80 (Hasselblad).
  • Any other camera that captures images of a resolution higher than 66 MP.

Tip: PIX4Dmatic does not have a limit on the size or resolution of the images that can be imported. Visit the download page of PIX4Dmatic to install the software.

PIX4Dmatic can process images captured by practically any camera as long as the images contain the necessary EXIF/XMP (metadata) tags.
