Introduction to Pix4D

• A basic understanding of drone applications

Audience

• Field Ecologists
• Conservation Managers

Pix4D is a photogrammetry software suite for drone mapping. With Pix4D, users can analyze image data and create 3D models, all from photographs processed by Pix4D.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at field ecologists and conservation managers who wish to land survey and drone map with Pix4D.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use end to end drone mapping processes and techniques.
• Achieve high surveying accuracy.
• Understand the fundamentals of global coordinate systems and GPS.
• Generate and analyze survey output with Pix4D's image processing software.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
