Version 1.0.0

Pix4Dreact is a new fast-mapping software built for emergency response and public safety. Pix4Dreact creates 2D maps from aerial imagery which provide up-to-date and reliable information in the field.

  • Fast and accurate maps while in the field.
  • Orthomosaic generation from drone images with no internet connection or cloud processing required (internet connection is only required during the first software activation).
  • Measurement and Marker tools.
  • Import and Export functionality.
  • PDF report for fast evaluation of the results and sharing with other stakeholders.

Version 1.0.1

New

  • Support for the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual drone (RGB only).
Note: This drone generates both a low and a high resolution version of each image. When importing the images in Pix4Dreact, a warning message will be displayed. This message appears, because Pix4Dreact does not support the processing of the low resolution images. Click PROCESS to continue and allow the software to process the high resolution images.
