Pix4Dfields

Product Description

Pix4Dfields is a photogrammetry software designed for precision agriculture and crop analysis. It digitizes fields by converting drone images into orthomosaics, digital surface models, index maps, zones and prescription maps allowing maximization of operational efficiency.

Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters

Accuracy: consistent and comparable maps throughout the season Instant results: generation of high-resolution maps while in the field, without internet connection Agriculture intuitive: layer comparison, zone and prescription tools Collaboration: upload and access information between team members

Vetted Performance Status

Acquisition of plot statistical information (NDVI mean, median, stdev and min & max) from indices, helped understand the impact of different agricultural techniques over the crops. Pix4Dfield was updated with radiometric corrections, allowing to map bigger areas while reducing processing time. This reduces waiting times from several hours to minutes.
