Greetings everyone, I wasn’t sure where to post this but I guess this will do.

I am an unemployed GIS professional with 20+ years experience. I’ve been out of work for close to year to health issues and other circumstances beyond my control. Regardless, I feel like I’m already out of touch with things so I wanted to bolster my resume and skills with training/certification while looking for work now. I have my own drone and flown, done pre-programmed flights, and even some rudimentary terrain mapping.

Question is, is Pix4D the industry standard for drone mapping? If I allocate money and time to training would Pix4d be a good way to go? Are there others worth mentioning. Grateful for any response. Cheers.
