Overview

PIX4Dmapper is Pix4D’s flagship photogrammetry software, designed to turn drone, camera, and aerial imagery into highly accurate 2D and 3D maps and models. It is built for surveyors, mapping professionals, engineers, and geospatial teams who require full control over reconstruction quality, professional accuracy, and seamless integration with CAD and GIS workflows.

Key capabilities that matter in mapping & surveying

Scientific-grade photogrammetry

PIX4Dmapper generates precise point clouds, meshes, DSM/DTM, and orthomosaics using industry-leading algorithms. Automatic calibration and detailed quality reports ensure accuracy at every step.

Broad sensor compatibility

Works with hundreds of RGB, multispectral, and thermal sensors. Fully compatible with major drone platforms such as DJI, Parrot, and senseFly eBee.

Full control for high accuracy

Use ground control points (GCPs), check points, control lines, and processing constraints to achieve survey-grade results. Advanced settings allow customization of each processing stage.

Professional 3D deliverables

Create dense point clouds, textured 3D meshes, contour lines, volume measurements, and surface models that integrate directly into engineering, mining, and construction workflows.

Powerful automation & scalable workflows

Batch processing, project templates, and tools for splitting or merging datasets make it easy to manage large-scale or repetitive projects.

Speed and performance

PIX4Dmapper continues to receive performance optimizations—GPU acceleration and improved processing pipelines allow users to handle bigger datasets faster and more reliably.

Seamless industry integration

Export to common CAD, GIS, survey, and BIM formats (e.g., LAS, DXF, SHP, TIFF, OBJ) for smooth interoperability with downstream software.

Typical workflow

Plan and capture

Fly drones with consistent altitude, overlap, and lighting. Capture GCPs for survey-grade accuracy when needed.

Import and process

Load imagery into PIX4Dmapper on your workstation. Select predefined templates or fine-tune advanced settings for custom workflows.

Analyze and validate

Review automatic calibration, inspect the quality report, edit point clouds, classify ground vs. non-ground, and refine outputs to meet accuracy requirements.

Export and deliver

Generate orthomosaics, point clouds, DEMs, and 3D models ready for engineering design, GIS mapping, and documentation.

When to choose PIX4Dmapper vs. other Pix4D tools

Use PIX4Dmapper when you need high-accuracy photogrammetry, full control, and professional 3D outputs for surveying, construction, mining, or engineering.
For fast agricultural mapping, simplified analytics, and in-field prescription maps, PIX4Dfields is the more efficient choice.
