Drone LiDAR post processing

PIX4Dmatic
1

We are going to be using the Rock Robotic R3 Pro V2 LiDAR camera on our drone soon. I am trying to determine if we will be able to process the LiDAR data in Pix4Dmatic. Can anyone verify if we can or can not? Thank you, Jean

Hi @craig.baker

You can import the point cloud in LAS/LAZ format after processing it in their software. For more information, please refer to the following article, which explains how to import point clouds: Import point cloud - PIX4Dmatic.

If you want to try it, you can use a trial license: How to get a trial license - PIX4Dmatic

I would appreciate your feedback when you try it.

Regards

You’re going to be very limited in what you can do with that point cloud in pix4d.

I’d suggest getting global mapper pro and getting familiar with the lidar tools. Alternatively, microstation + terrascan, though the learning curve is higher.

Or if you want a free tool to start, get familiar with cloudcompare.
