How to obtain coordinates from Autotags? - PIX4Dcatch
This article provides step-by-step instructions for using the tag detection feature to extract Autotag coordinates. This workflow enables accurate measurement of multiple points within a project.
Instructions on obtaining Autotag coordinates:
-
Evenly distributed Autotags across the project area.


-
On the PIX4Dcatch home screen, tap Capture at the bottom.
-
Before starting to capture a project, tap
the Tools icon in the bottom right corner. -
Select Tag Detection
. 
- Turn on Detect Autotags under the Tie Points section. Tap Done.

-
Start capturing. Ensure Autotags are clearly detected in at least three images.

-
Once the capture is done, save the dataset.

- Select Optimize.

-
Open the saved project. Tap on the icon
in the top-right corner. -
Select Create Point Collection from Tie Points.

-
Name the point collection. Select the output coordinate reference system.

-
Tap Create in the top right. PIX4Dcatch will display a list of points with their coordinates. To check their geographical distribution, tap the map icon
in the top-right corner.
-
To export coordinate data, tap the export icon
in the top-right corner. Select the desired export method for the .zip file.


Note: The Tag Detection feature can also be activated post-capture through the Optimize Autotags workflow. The subsequent processing steps remain unchanged.
