Description

With PIX4Dcatch, create 3D models and maps with your mobile device. Just point and capture to gather data, ready for accurate 3D model generation. Use it to recreate reality and measure the world around you.

You can pair it with a compatible RTK device to achieve centimeter-level accuracy for better 3D model precision and geolocation, and for performing single-point measurements.

To generate georeferenced 3D models, the collected images can be uploaded to PIX4Dcloud or exported to PIX4Dmatic. Both offer a 15-day trial to get started. Projects can also be freely exported, processed, and visualized in third-party photogrammetry software.

Workflow
1 - Scan: walk around your site. The app automatically gathers data and gives live feedback with iOS LiDAR, ensuring you capture every detail. For better accuracy, you can use either an RTK device compatible with PIX4Dcatch, our Pix4D targets with a fully automated workflow, or combine both for really accurate results.
2 - Upload or export: to process the data, upload it to PIX4Dcloud or export it to desktop software PIX4Dmatic. Get high-quality, accurate 2D and 3D outputs.
3 - Analyze and share: measure the space, share your results, and enjoy all the benefits of a detailed 3D model of your surroundings. Benefit from an immersive experience with augmented reality.

This workflow can be used for digitizing construction sites, measuring volumes (of stockpiles and other objects), keeping permanent records of underground utilities, and verifying your previously captured 3D models in AR in real time. Measure single points with confidence by using our compatible RTK devices. Digitize reality with your mobile phone.

Compatibility:
• Optimized for LiDAR-equipped devices
• All ARKit-enabled devices
• RTK devices: Pix4D adapted viDoc RTK, Emlid Reach RX, Trimble DA2, Bad Elf Flex, Leica Zeno FLX100 plus

Photogrammetry at your phingertips

Long time pix4d user for drone based 3D modeling. PIX4DCatch is the perfect ground based photo capture tool. Depth images from the iPhone 12 Pro make really crisp models. Always improving software makes capture and quality estimation in the field a breeze! Well done.

Developer Response ,

Hi mfmfmfm, Thank you for your kind review. User feedback is very important to us. Please continue to let us know how we can improve by using the Feature Request link in our Community forum.

Almost there…

Great multi function product but outputs contradict. When exporting a scan, photo geo tags are in gps (lat/lon). When exporting GCP’s, coordinates are in SPC (northing/easting). Works great when staying contained within PIX4D environment. However limits using in 3rd party software (ie Faro 3D or Leica Map 360).

Having the GCP’s export in GPS coordinates as well would be beneficial to be able to use the viDoc to pickup extra points on a scene and just add them to an existing project like a total station or gnss receiver.

* Using RTK and referring to csv outputs
