PIX4Dsurvey – Professional Software for Point Cloud Processing and Vectorisation

PIX4Dsurvey is a professional software solution that bridges photogrammetry with CAD/GIS-based vectorisation. It enables users to import point clouds, drone imagery and laser-scanning datasets; analyse them; extract vector features; generate accurate surface models; and export deliverables in standardised formats for engineering, surveying and design workflows.

The software is designed for surveyors, engineers, designers, cadastral authorities, construction firms and infrastructure operators.

Key Benefits of PIX4Dsurvey

From Point Cloud to CAD-Ready Drawings

• Import photogrammetric datasets and laser-scanning point clouds.
• Comprehensive vectorisation: lines, points, polygons, curves, breaklines and contours.
• Export to CAD/GIS formats for downstream engineering applications.

Time Efficiency and Automation

• Automated object detection (manholes, inspection covers, utility poles and more).
• Accelerated tools for point-cloud-based vectorisation.
• Reduced processing time when handling large-scale datasets.

Designed for Large Projects

• Support for point clouds containing billions of points.
• Smooth navigation and interaction with heavy, high-density models.
• Efficient management of layers, features and extensive survey areas.

High Accuracy

• Point classification for ground extraction and high-precision DTM generation.
• Tools for identifying road features, façades, structural elements and other engineering assets.
• Creation of TIN/DTM surfaces for mapping, analysis and design.

Core Functionality

Data Import and Preparation

• Import point clouds (.las/.laz), photogrammetric outputs and terrestrial/mobile laser-scanning datasets.
• Import CAD files for georeferencing, alignment and background reference.
• Intuitive layer management, filtering and data organisation.

Vectorisation and Modelling

• Creation of lines, breaklines, points, polygons and 3D curves.
• Automated feature recognition for faster interpretation.
• Generation of TIN and DTM surfaces from classified point clouds.

Export and Integration

• Export projects and layers to DXF, SHP and other industry-standard formats.
• Full compatibility with CAD, BIM and GIS environments.
• Customisable layer structures and attributes to meet client-specific requirements.
