3Dsurvey Pilot

About 3Dsurvey Pilot

3Dsurvey Pilot transforms your regular consumer drone into accurate surveying and mapping tool. A free addition to 3Dsurvey photogrammetry software, 3Dsurvey Pilot is the perfect tool to plan your missions and automatically capture images along with GPS data.
Post-flight processing of captured images is done easily with 3Dsurvey photogrammetry software, generating highly accurate, metric and geo-referenced results, such as dense point cloud, 3D mesh, topography map, elevation model, DSM, orthophoto. Perfect for any surveying professional.


Currently, the app supports the following drones:

• DJI
- Phantom 4 Pro V2
- Phantom 4 Pro
- Phantom 4
- Phantom 3 Professional
- Phantom 3 Advanced
- Mavic Air
- Mavic Pro
- Mavic 2 Pro
- Inspire 1 (Pro)
- Inspire 2
- Spark


Features and benefits:

- Plan your mission - flight plans for different needs
---GRID
Single Grid for mapping of rectangle areas - the fastest way for planning routes with simple settings
---POLYGON
Mapping of advanced/irregular shaped areas - additional area shapes and advanced settings
---ROAD
Developed specifically for simple and effective road, rail & corridor mapping
---CIRCLE
Circular mission for object mapping - always facing your point of interest for object 3D model reconstruction
- Automated drone flight & image acquisition
- Telemetry and live camera feed during the mission
- Simple workflow with 3Dsurvey's processing software
- Flight parameters for each mission - front & side image overlap, camera angle, flying height (AGL), flight speed - can be adjusted based on the requirements of the area and the project
- Advanced settings and options for demanding missions.


Post-flight processing & analysis using 3Dsurvey desktop software:

- Capture and recreate natural environment in digital form and survey from the office. Achieve high-resolution outputs with cm-grade accuracy.
- Use of Ground Control Points (GCPs) for improving the relative and absolute accuracy of the model
- Generate and modify:
--- Point clouds
--- Orthophotos
--- Digital 3D models (DSM, DTM, DEM)
--- CAD
--- Contour lines
--- Profiles and Cross sections
--- And more
- Measure:
--- Distances
--- Surfaces, Areas
--- Volumes
- Supports any drone & any camera/sensor. Works for aerial & terrestrial data acquisition methods. rTK- and EXIF GPS-ready for instant telemetry data import.
- 3Dsurvey is developed based on 300+ land surveying projects. Tailored to serve specific surveyors' needs. Cut fieldwork time by up to 100 times.
- Hybrid engine that utilizes both CPU and GPU for up to 15x faster image processing time. Large dataset support - 1000+ hi-res images.
- Compatible with third-party sources, data from LiDAR, Sonar, SLAM, terrestrial scanners. Seamless workflow for further combination with photogrammetric point clouds.
