Pix4Dtagger Discontinuation?

[ilopata]

I heard a rumor from a Pix4D trainer that Pix4Dtagger may be removed from future distributions of the product. If this is the case, please take this submission as a vote not to do that. It is enormously helpful in creating profiles for cameras that are not in the camera database. It would seem to me that I can keep a copy of Pix4Dtagger and use it, even if Pix4D were to stop distributing it, but I would prefer that it were just there.

Thanks

Hi @ilopata,

Pix4Dtagger is not in development anymore and therefore not officially supported.
It means that we do not fix bugs.
For the moment no decision has been taken so no changes for the upcoming Pix4Dmapper releases.
Meanwhile you can still use and download the tags from this page:

Using PIX4Dtagger - automatic target recognition - PIX4Dmapper

and there:

Try out our new tool Pix4Dtagger!

Hi @aprflytechstore, You’re right, the link seems to be down on the EPFL website. Luckily I found the tags on my computer, so I uploaded them to a shared folder on Google Drive, here you go: https://s3.amazonaws.com/mics.pix4d.com/Pix4Dtagger/tags.zip For what kind of applications do you use the tags?

Best

Hi,

Is there an alternative or another solution for Pix4Dtagger?

You could consider using ArUco markers from the OpenCV project. It would be quite easy to write a small python script to generate the MTP csv file format for import into Pix4Dmapper.
