Advantages

Aerial and terrestrial images in .jpg.jpeg .tiff formats

Process any RGB images that support basic EXIF/XMP tags.

LiDAR and RGB images fromPIX4DcatchProcess both LiDAR and RGB images outputs from PIX4Dcatch for a full terrestrial workflow.

Multi-camera support in the sameproject

Create a project using images from different cameras and process them together.

Import image geolocations andorientations as .csv or .txt

Text file import (.csv/.txt) for image geolocation and orientation.

Ground Control Points (GCPs)



Import and mark ground control points to improve the absolute accuracy of the project.

GCPs marks

Import of GCP marks from PIX4Dmapper into PIX4Dmatic.

Known reference coordinate systemsupportSelect EPSG or ESRI codes from known coordinate systems libraries. Select a default
coordinate reference system for easy setup.

Geoid support

Support of most commonly used geoid models. You can select a geoid height even if there aregeoids available.

Arbitrary coordinate referencesystem supportGeoreferencing of the project with GCPs in local or site specific coordinate systems.

Site localization



Import a .wkt created with PIX4Dcatch, or a .prj file and set your custom coordinate system.

Region of interest (ROI)

Define a Region of interest to delimit an area in order to reduce the extent of outputs
generated for a project, speed up the processing, or even create sharper outputs.

Scale constraintDefine a scale constraint with a distance and an accuracy, which enables scaling a projectbased on that input at the Calibration step.

Orientation constraintDefine an orientation constraint with a direction and an assigned axis, which enables orienting
a project without orientation information at the Calibration step.

Open Photogrammetry Format(OPF) 1.0

Import a project created with the Open Photogrammetry Format (OPF) 1.0 specifications.

Edit Camera Internals and Externals

Fine-tune camera settings for enhanced control over calibration and data accuracy

Multicore CPU + GPU support

Increase the processing speed by leveraging the power of CPU cores and threads, as well asGPUs.

Backup mechanism

An automatic backup mechanism ensures that you do not lose your work when something
unexpected stops PIX4Dmatic.

Calibration

Define the Template, Pipeline, Image Scale, Keypoints and Internals confidence parameters
for the optimization of internal camera parameters (e.g. focal length, principal point of
autocollimation and lens distortions) and external camera parameters (position, orientation)
during calibration.

Reoptimize

Reoptimize internal and external camera parameters based on GCPs or MTPs to improve thereconstruction.

AutoGCP

Automatic detection of control targets of known shape for faster marking experience.

Auto-markFor nadir projects, once at least 2 marks were added for a tie point, find more marks of thesame point.

Intersection Tie Points (ITPs)

Generate intersection tie points as part of the calibration for improved calibration e.g. forindoor scenes.

Merge & Register projects

Merge & register two or more projects that overlap

Depth point cloudCreate a depth point cloud based on LiDAR inputs from PIX4Dcatch.

Point cloud densification

Define the point cloud Density, Number of Matches, Image Scale, Noise filter and Sky filter
parameters to create a dense point cloud based on the sparse point cloud created duringcalibration.

Depth & dense fusionCreate a single point cloud based on the depth point cloud and the dense point cloud.

Planes

Generate planes automatically for improving the mesh of your model.

Mesh

Define the mesh Input, Template, Texture size, Deghosting, Decimation, Sky mask, Smoothing
parameters to create a 3D Textured MeshDigital Surface ModelDefine the Resolution cm/px, enable Surface smoothing with its Median filter radius (px) andenable Interpolation for the digital surface model creation.

OrthomosaicCreate an orthomosaic based on the digital surface model and the images and set Deghostingor Oblique parameters.

Quality reportAssess the quality of the reconstruction between processing steps with the detailed quality
reportProcessing templates

Select the Nadir, Oblique, PIX4Dcatch or Custom processing template.
