Pix4Dmapper gets down to the dirt

Big news for folks wanting to get back down to ground level in their 3D models.

It is hard to remove trees, park benches in general stuff sat in the survey area. I am keen to go find a row of trees or small woods and try and get them out of a model.

Pix4D is proud to announce our implementation of some of the most successful academic research for DTM extraction into Pix4Dmapper. Using DSMs generated from high-resolution images, Pix4Dmapper algorithms can now detect bare earth, as well as compute and remove above-ground objects precisely without pulling the terrain height up for interpolation. This new approach gives the accurate terrain model elevation, instead of just visually removing objects.

This fully-automated algorithm works perfectly on surface models, whether it contains small and scattered houses or large, dense trees. To experience the amazing new DTM extraction, download Pix4Dmapper trial now.
