Hello,
I wanted to know if a classification of the dense cloud points can be done in Matic (ground, Buiding, road…) the same as it is done in Mapper??
Thanks,
Thomas Kinsella
Hello. Currently, PIX4Dmatic does not have built-in classification. If this is a feature you would like to see included please take a few minutes to post at the link below so that the developers can take your feedback into consideration for future builds.

PIX4D survey does have classification features for automatically classifying ground vs nonground and also manual tools for classifying all standard ASPRS classes. Take a look at the link below for more information.
Hi @thomas1, can you tell us more about what you’re trying to achieve? e.g. by showing us an example of project where you need this. This will help to understand the context of your request. Thanks!
If i could fly my drone over an area, walk around and scan areas that are under cover, and throw all the data into a program, add my GCP’s, and have a Point Cloud that I can classify for base earth (like Mapper). Right now you need to pay for every program to do that. Mapper for The drone flight and point cloud classification, Catch for the handheld, Cloud to process the Lidar Data and Matic to see it all as one, but even then you cant classify the point cloud. Please make one app that does all of this and stop making me pay for 4 applications through one company.
@keith3 okay, I believe this can be made easier. I would recommend to use the desktop software PIX4Dmatic for the processing of aerial and terrestrial data with PIX4Dcatch (images+lidar), adding GCPs or Checkpoints, and merging. You can then open this in PIX4Dsurvey and run through the terrain workflow. At each of these steps, you can upload to PIX4Dcloud for sharing the results with someone else if that’s what you’d like to do, check Share to Cloud. We’re working on getting both PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dsurvey in the same interface, so that you have everything at the same place. This will take us some more time, but both interfaces are already pretty similar. Would be interested in hearing whether this simplifies your workflow.
Even a basic classifier (like Pix4D Mapper) would go a LONG way here.
