PIX4Dfields – Professional Software for Agricultural Mapping and Crop Analysis

PIX4Dfields is specialised software for precision agricultural mapping. It processes drone and satellite imagery (including Sentinel-2) to generate orthomosaics, vegetation index maps (NDVI, NDRE, VARI and others), zonation maps and variable-rate application layers. It supports the complete agricultural analysis workflow — from capturing imagery to producing ready-to-use prescription maps for sprayers, tractors and agricultural drones. The software runs locally on Windows and macOS and does not require an internet connection.

It is designed for farmers, agronomists, consultants, agricultural service providers, seed producers and crop protection companies, providing rapid crop monitoring and decision support for nutrition, crop protection and yield optimisation.

Key Benefits of PIX4Dfields

Fast Processing Directly in the Field

• Instant processing of drone imagery on a laptop — results available within minutes.
• Fully offline operation: no internet required for processing or analysis.
• Ideal for in-season decision-making where rapid response is essential.

Accurate Agricultural Maps and Indices

• Creation of orthomosaics, DSMs, vegetation index maps and zonation layers.
• Support for standard RGB and multispectral cameras (including Mavic 3 Multispectral and others).
• Import of Sentinel-2 satellite data to extend coverage and assess crop-growth dynamics.

Tools for Variable-Rate Application

• Generation of prescription maps for variable-rate fertiliser and crop-protection applications.
• Support for spot-spraying maps to enable targeted application for weeds or problem areas.
• Export to ISOXML and other formats compatible with ISOBUS terminals, agricultural drones and field sprayers.

Flexible Workflow and Integration

• Compatible with a wide range of drones and cameras — including DJI and third-party manufacturers.
• Integration-ready for systems such as the John Deere Operations Center and other FMIS platforms.
• Export of outputs in standard formats (GeoTIFF, Shapefile, etc.) for use in external software.

Analysis, Reporting and Collaboration

• Creation of clear crop-health maps, field-trial reports and documentation of field operations.
• Comparison of multiple flights and data layers (indices, zones, trial results) to assess treatment effectiveness.
• Data publishing and sharing via PIX4Dcloud, PDF report export and collaboration with colleagues or clients.

Core Functionality

Remote Sensing — Data Acquisition

• Drone capture with any standard RGB or supported multispectral camera.
• Upload of existing aerial imagery and Sentinel-2 satellite data.
• Ability to combine datasets from multiple sources within a single project.

Process — Imaging Workflow and Map Creation

• Instant photogrammetric processing to produce an orthomosaic, DSM, vegetation indices and zonation maps.
• Processing engine optimised for uniform agricultural terrain — large fields processed within minutes.
• Choice of processing modes to balance speed and detail.

Scout — Crop Scouting and Field Diagnosis

• Visual assessment of crop conditions using orthomosaics and index maps.
• Identification of problematic areas such as stressed vegetation, excess moisture, gaps or damage.
• Using zonation maps to plan scouting routes and sampling points.

Analyse — Crop Analysis and Time-Series Comparison

• Creation and evaluation of vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE, VARI and others), with support for custom index formulae.
• Comparison of field conditions across different dates to assess trends and evaluate agronomic practices.
• Use of zonation and index layers to plan fertilisation, growth regulation and crop-protection measures.

Integrate — Export and Farm-Scale Use

• Creation of variable-rate and spot-spraying prescription maps for sprayers, tractors and agricultural drones.
• Export to ISOXML and other formats compatible with ISOBUS terminals and precision-farming systems.
• Export of data for further use in farm-management platforms and reporting workflows.
