Processing projects - PIX4Dcatch

Follow

With a captured PIX4Dcatch project, there are several options for processing a 3D model from it. Directly upload and process to PIX4Dcloud / PIX4Dcloud Advanced for the most immediate results, or export the project and process using PIX4Dmatic or PIX4Dmapper.

Upload and process to PIX4Dcloud / PIX4Dcloud Advanced

For fast results, uploading and processing with PIX4Dcloud / PIX4Dcloud Advanced can provide quick shareable 3D reconstructions.

 
Important: A PIX4Dcloud / PIX4Dcloud Advanced license is required to upload the project for cloud processing.

Upload directly from the project

Note: When capturing a project with a LiDAR-capable device, the depth data will be processed automatically. Refer to the PIX4Dcatch FAQ for a list of compatible devices and for more information on how PIX4Dcatch uses LiDAR data.

PIX4Dcatch upload dialog

Select processing options with the Upload Project dialog.

  • Measure Volumes and Elevation Profiles: Select the option to generate a DSM.
  • 2D Map: Select the option to generate an Orthomosaic.

4. An email is sent when all images are uploaded and processing begins.
5. A second email is sent when processing is finished.
6. After the processing is finished, the results can be viewed and shared on PIX4Dcloud.

Process locally with PIX4Dmapper or PIX4Dmatic

 
Note: To process projects locally with LiDAR data, PIX4Dmatic should be used.
 
Important: A PIX4Dmapper/PIX4Dmatic (trial, discovery, OTC, monthly, and yearly) license is required to process the project in PIX4Dmapper/PIX4Dmatic.

1. Export the project from the device to the computer. For more information: How to export PIX4Dcatch projects (iOS/Android).
2. Create a new project and start processing using PIX4Dmapper/PIX4Dmatic. For more information:

3. After the processing is finished, the results are available for further analysis in PIX4Dmapper/PIX4Dmatic.
