What makes PIX4Dcatch the best solution?

Georeferenced 3D Scanning

PIX4Dcatch can create detailed and georeferenced 3D models using both photogrammetry and LiDAR technology from your smartphone.

Versatile Processing Options

Flexible solutions for processing, including direct upload to PIX4Dcloud for easy processing and/or export to PIX4Dmatic for advanced control.

RTK Compatibility

Achieve absolute centimeter accuracy in your 3D models with PIX4Dcatch and RTK.

Innovative AR Features

Use AR to easily detect GCPs and see as-built and CAD design overlays for construction analysis.

Ease of Use

Intuitive UI with comprehensive support makes it easy for all users to quickly master.

Pix4Dcatch & Emlid Workflow

1. Capture Ground Data

Walk along or around the area of interest to scan, and PIX4Dcatch will automatically record video frames with positional and orientation information.

2. Ensure Completeness

Experience real-time AR feedback on your scan's coverage and completion with a 3D mesh overlay and point cloud live viewer.

3. Pause and Restart

Pause the capture whenever needed. The live viewer continues to display on your device, displaying the areas you've already covered.

4. Export & Process

Upload the captured images to PIX4Dcloud or export them to PIX4Dmapper or PIX4Dmatic to generate accurate, measurable, and easy to share 3D models and point clouds.
