PIX4Dmatic, 1 Year
PIX4Dmatic – Professional Photogrammetry for Large Areas and Corridor Mapping
PIX4Dmatic is a next-generation, high-performance photogrammetry software solution purpose-built for processing large-scale projects: long corridor surveys, extensive territories and datasets containing thousands — or even tens of thousands — of images. It is optimised for speed, precision and the efficient handling of massive datasets, consistently delivering survey-grade results.
It is ideally suited for surveyors, cartographers, engineers and construction or infrastructure companies working with high-volume aerial imagery.
Key Benefits of PIX4Dmatic
