Software provider PIX4D has released a new drone mission creation app that will help pilots optimize data collection during field operations.
The brand new program PIX4Dcapture Pro comes with a new Mission Planner extension that allows you to plan flights online from your web browser.
The main features of PIX4Dcapture Pro for successful flights:
Planning missions taking into account the terrain. Using downloaded substrates or terrain models from open sources, the trajectory of the drone will be adapted to the required flight altitude, which will ensure that relevant data is obtained. The result will be to achieve a constant GSD and avoid gaps in 2D or 3D modeling when flying in mountainous terrain or in areas with a complex configuration.
Easy flight planning with offline maps. Missions can now be planned in advance using downloaded base maps. The app will also automatically download a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to enable terrain detection.
PIX4Dcapture Pro supports RTK mode for accurate measurements. PIX4Dcapture Pro is compatible with the latest RTK equipped drone models. RTK drones offer a high level of data collection accuracy, making them an ideal tool for industries that require precise measurements, such as surveying and construction.
Pix4D Mission Planner: simple, advanced, reliable
Mission Planner is a new tool available with PIX4Dcloud. It allows you to plan drone flights on a computer. These missions can then be uploaded to PIX4Dcapture Pro for use on a mobile device.
Easy drone flight planning. With a user-friendly interface, this tool offers a variety of mission types, including Grid missions for surveying large areas, Cylindrical (Point of Interest) missions for tall buildings, and Orbital missions for small buildings. This ensures pilots have access to the tools they need to successfully complete any mission.
Reduce planning time with Mission Split. With Mission Planner, you can easily import .kml and .csv files downloaded from publicly available geospatial data sources. Once loaded, Mission Split automatically calculates the number of missions needed to cover an area and generates them for the pilot in seconds.
This significantly reduces planning time and helps optimize the overall flight process. Plus, if you're working on maintenance projects, plans can be easily saved and repeated using the tool's Duplicate feature.
Maximum efficiency and scalability. With the help of Mission Planner, projects can be planned in the office and centrally, and therefore, it is possible to make basic decisions before the flights are carried out.
With the new PIX4Dcapture Pro app and Mission Planner tool, drone pilots can now focus on creating mission plans to efficiently optimize data collection.
For now, you can download the app from the link and test its free beta version: https://www.pix4d.com/product/pix4dcapture/
