I am processing 5-band multispetral images in Pix4D, is there a way to generate RGB orthomosaic? I only see options to generate DSM and index maps

Hey&nbsp;Rami,

It is possible to get a RGB orthomosaic by blending the correct bands.

You might find the following video useful. Keep in mind that is a third party software, so we have not tested it yet:

In case you are using SAGA gis, you can also give a try to create an RGB Composite in SAGA by following the instruction here:

I am unable to view YouTube videos at work. Could someone please advise what third party software is used and/or how I can create the RGB mosaic from 5-band MicaSense imagery?

&nbsp;

Also, why is this not an inherent capability of Pix4D? Surely it would be a standard requirement?

Regards

Joel.

Hello Joel,

You could try to make&nbsp;create the RGB composite in QGIS for example.&nbsp;

This idea is interesting and we will pass your query as suggestion to the product management team so they can study it and see for future releases.

Best Regards,&nbsp;
