“[...] Being able to work offline is crucial [...]”
Nick Guadagnoli,
Technology Solutions Manager for 4Rivers Equipment
What makes Pix4Dfields
unique #1?
In field results
Create maps rapidly (no internet
connection required) for decision making
and action, without leaving the field
What makes Pix4Dfields
unique #2?
Reliable maps
Always get maps of your fields and crops
at any critical stage regardless of satellite
availability and cloud cover.
“Processing speed coupled with great
analytics, [...] No other software can
achieve this level of efficiency”
Nicholaus Helwig
Owner Pinpoint Aerial Solutions
What makes Pix4Dfields
unique #3?
Trusted results
Eliminate guesswork by analyzing crop
health maps and measure issues using
calibrated multispectral or full resolution
RGB images.
Radiometry matters
Pix4Dfields is continuously being developed to
meet the needs of the agriculture industry,
focusing on reducing the speed of processing
while incorporating the highest radiometry
standards backed up with years of scientific
research
What makes Pix4Dfields
unique #4?
Connected
Connect your data to platforms like the
John Deere Operations Center,
synchronize and access your data in-
office and in-field for streamlined
collaboration
“it also eliminates mistakes caused by
handwritten documentation [...] which can
lead to costly crop destruction due to
under or over-application of the product.”

Bridging the gap between
photogrammetry and CAD
Acquire Process CAD/GIS
This step takes 2/3rds
of the time!!
Why does this gap exist?
● Big sets of images
● Huge point clouds, orthomosaics and DTMs
● CAD software cannot easily handle large point clouds
● Many software tools = long learning curve
● Disconnected workflows
Extract the data you need
A next step in Pix4D
photogrammetry workflows to
simplify your connection to GIS
and CAD, making planning and
design easier.
CAD/GISAcquire Process Vectorize
I need my deliverables to be
compatible with CAD and GIS!
GREAT !
Import projects from Pix4Dmapper
and any .las or .laz point cloud file
.p4d
Any point cloud source (aerial or
terrestrial LiDAR, photogrammetry,
total station, etc)
Beyond the point
Vectorize anything Flexible & scalable CAD ready
Outcomes
● Reduce overall surveying time
● Improve the compatibility with GIS
and CAD tools
● Simplify the 3D data
reduction/extraction process
● Leverage the power of the rayCloudtm
for detailed vectorizing
● Expand possibilities

entered the large mapping space
Acquire CAD/GIS
I'm trying to make my
exports manageable
I'm frustrated that I cannot
process in one go
Acquire large dataset with
more than 5000 images
Challenges with large data mapping today
● Cumbersome workflows to manage the large data
● High uncertainty on the success of a project
● Time lost in waiting
● Making exports manageable
