Hi There,

I'd love to see a sample that has multiple flights using different methods, is this acceptable practice?

E.g. Grid flight, circular flight and GCP's.

Thanks

Allan

Under Quarry B) 4) had to choose coordinate system "From EPSG" 21781, as this is what the GCP coordinates are given in in the provided GCP file. They are not in WGS 84 Latitude, Longitude, Altitude (EPSG:4326).

I understand that GCP's will help with the accuracy. However, if you are providing a demo, do you need the GCP's? Can you fly using Pix4D without the GCP's. Will this app allow you to provide a fairly decent looking model without using GCP's. The reason I ask is because I have used Drone Deploy and it does a great job allowing you to deliver or showcase whats possible without using GCP's.

Ref. Construction Dataset, I need to know the calculation for number of Images. I can see the Image Size as 54x36 ( pix meters ) means per image area 1944m2. Now when I divide the same with 33 Acres or 133546m2 Area of the Construction Site the images will be 133546/1944 = 68 Images add 80% Front Overlap = 58 Images add 70% Side Overlap = 48 Images, Total = 174. assuming 30% extended edges add 20 Images. Total 194. Please verify & confirm. I want to understand the math behind so I can plan my missions technically accurate.

HI Paulo Henriques,

Here are all our videos:
Pix4Dmapper-video-tutorials

Here are described all the outputs that can be generated in Pix4Dmapper:
Pix4D-outputs-with-other-software-by-output

Basically it generates point cloud, 3D textured mesh, orthomosaic and DSM. Then it is on you to know which information you want to extract.

Best
