Aerial Metrics Maptools
Years of experience working with Pix4Dmapper and public safety agencies led to the development of a suite of tools that supplement Pix4D and make workflows simpler. The software address six key issues:
-
On scene coverage analysis of sUAS imagery
-
Identifying excess images and thereby reducing processing time
-
Preparing elevation GCPs to produce correctly leveled models (no hardware required)
-
Preparing images from orthomosaics for inclusion in reports (replaces GIS software for this purpose)
-
Preparing x/y/z points lists
-
Providing optimized Pix4D processing profiles for common scenarios
