Random thoughts for June '25

Below are some thoughts / suggestions after using the tool intensely for several months…

Ability to export field information to Excel
Name
Centroid in latitude and longitude
Area
Organization/farm/client/crop
Operations with dates
Best if able to be done as a batch!

A little tool to help plan flights for a day - determine the total flight time, number of battery changes, required storage space and number of memory card changes for selected fields. (Extra points for including drivetime and a map!)

Include a summary of the weather conditions for each orthomosaic

Provide the ability to perform batch exports.

Provide the ability to select individual output files or grouped into one file on boundary export.

Provide guidance on how to copy an entire project with ortho, annotation, and boundaries, to another name (Maybe you have already done this and I’ve missed it).

Create “linear boundaries” to be used as basis of linear flight plans, for better integration with DJI Pilot 2.

In Delete / Boundaries, provide the ability to select which boundaries to select similar to how input is handled in Export.

Provide a sticky Filter for the home screen / project list so we can reduce scrolling when dealing with project / client / crop types.

It would be great if file operations, such as exports, should autofill the project name

Provide batch operations for many items, such as exporting. Include the ability to identify variable file naming and location As a stopgap measure, provide the Export operations from the home screen.

Remove Pix4D branding from reports.

Provide a way to REMOVE folders from being processed (if wrong folder / files have been added)

Provide more formatting / options for custom reports

Really need batch operations:
Ability to standardize different operations
Ability to control output locations
Ability to monitor and report operations
Ability to pause operations and restore after power off

Need to store data in a compressed format.

Need archive / retrieval for projects, to alternate locations, to free up disk space.

Just thinking off the top of my head…

Hi Mike,

thats a nice list! I want to comment on the things that are already possible:

Include a summary of the weather conditions for each orthomosaic

Field Insights report has weather data

Provide the ability to perform batch exports.

There is a batch exporter for projects

Provide guidance on how to copy an entire project with ortho, annotation, and boundaries, to another name (Maybe you have already done this and I’ve missed it).

Use the project export functionality and reimport the project, than you can rename the duplicate.

Create “linear boundaries” to be used as basis of linear flight plans, for better integration with DJI Pilot 2.

You can create line annotations and export those as .kml. But not sure if they can be imported on DJI Pilot 2. What are you using linear flight paths for ?

Remove Pix4D branding from reports.

That works, you can even add your own branding. You find it behind the settings gear icon at the dashboard.

Need to store data in a compressed format.

The data is already in a very efficent format. Further compression would loose details.

The whole topic of batch exports and operations we have on our todo list, but it will be a big change to the app and will be a mahor future project once we have all the needed core tools in-place.
