Is it possible to generate an orthophoto of a wall (vertical axe)on pix4d survey ?

[louis.cossart]

Hello, I’m new to Pix4Dsurvey, i use it to generate 3D models of bridges and retaing walls. I’d like to know if it’s possible to generate an orthophoto of a vertical surface as on the drawing below.

Thank you for your answers,

Hi @louis.cossart

Thank you for your request, I have replied to you in the PIX4Dmatic thread:

Hi @louis.cossart, Welcome to the Pix4D Community. Unfortunately this is not possible at the current moment. Please ask your request in this feature request thread: Don’t forget to vote for it by clicking on the Vote button in the top-left corner of the thread . Cheers

If you want to use PIX4Dsurvey, depending on how you would like to use the orthophoto, you can use the suggestion shared in this post:

orthomosaics of facades

@drone-analytics @Chris_Putnam How will you use the orthofacade? Will you digitize on top of it in another program, or as an illustration? If the former is the case, could the profile tool in PIX4Dsurvey help you? [image] You can vectorize freely in the profile view, always in 3D. Its not the same as the ortho facade, but I wonder if it could help. thanks, Nate

Cheers

Hi @louis.cossart ,

I noticed that you asked about the option to generate an orthophoto in PIX4Dsurvey a year ago and I thought it could be useful to share here that that feature is already available in PIX4Dmatic, in case you want to consider using it as part of your workflow.

Best regards,
Diana

Hi, please tell me how this is done in PIX4Dmatic (which command is used for this usecase)?

Thanks!

Hi,

In order to generate an ortho in PIX4Dmatic, you need to first create a section. Once you are happy with what you are seeing in the bottom panel, you have the option to generate an orthoplane from there.

The entire workflow is explained here Section view - PIX4Dmatic. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Best regards,
Diana
