PIX4Dcloud processing options in PIX4Dcatch 

 

 

Processing options

Once a project has been captured and saved, you can upload it to PIX4Dcloud by tapping the Upload icon.

The initial screen defines:

• Account and Organization.
• Upload location.
• Records (optional notes or project metadata may be added to the Records field).
• Date created.

Tapping Next displays the processing options. These options include:

• Region of Interest.
• Cloud Processing Options:
  • Gaussian Splatting.
  • Measure volumes and Elevation Profiles.
  • 2D map.
  • Generate .SLPK
    • Point Cloud .SLPK
    • Mesh .SLPK
  • Output coordinate reference system.
• Project Cost and Account Balance.
  
  
  
  

Region of interest 

A region of interest reduces the output extent to accelerate processing, decrease storage requirements, and improve the quality of the results.

       

Cloud processing options

Gaussian Splatting

Generates a Gaussian Splat model using the acquired images. For more information: visit Using PIX4Dcatch to generate a Gaussian Splat model. 

       

Measure Volumes and Elevation Profiles 

Generates a digital surface model (DSM) representing terrain and above-ground features such as vegetation and buildings. To generate a DSM, enable the option Measure Volumes and Elevation Profiles.

2D Map

Produces an orthorectified imagery layer using advanced photogrammetric corrections. To generate an orthomosaic, enable the option 2D Map.

       

SLPK 

SLPK files are optimized for efficient streaming and visualization of 3D datasets of both point clouds and meshes in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.

To generate a Point Cloud and/or Mesh with SLPK, enable the option Point Cloud .SLPK and/or Mesh.SLPK

         

Output Coordinate Reference System

The processed datasets may be georeferenced using one of the following options:

• Autodetected: Automatically assigns the CRS based on the UTM zone associated with the mobile device’s position.
• Known CRS: Selects a specific CRS from the internal database by searching for its name or EPSG code.
• Import Coordinate System: Imports a custom projected coordinate system defined by a Well-Known Text (WKT) file. For more information:  Well-Known Text(WKT) in PIX4Dcatch.
