About Pix4Dcatch: 3D scanner
Pix4Dcatch is the tool for acquiring optimal ground images for photogrammetry. These ground images can be uploaded to PIX4Dcloud to get highly accurate 3D models (free 15-day trial available, then a valid subscription is required). The images can also be exported offline for free to photogrammetry software such as PIX4Dmatic.
No need to be an expert. Walk around your area of interest and the app will record pictures along the way, together with GPS positions.
Images can be uploaded to Pix4Dcloud for the fast generation of scaled and georeferenced 3D models and point clouds that you can visualize, measure, share, and export. Or they can be exported locally for processing in Pix4Dmapper.
