Hello All!
We're already at the end of the third month of 2021! We have released a new eBook "Drones in public safety: the bigger picture", had water-themed use cases about mapping islands in the middle of the Atlantic, surveying mangroves along the Tanzanian coast, and we explored how to better manage golf courses.
Got any questions for us, or want to feature in your own use case? Hit reply to get back to us.
Happy reading!
New Pix4D eBook
Drones have been helping save and protect people in firefighting, Search and Rescue, crash reconstruction, and disaster response all over the world. This free eBook includes workflows, use cases, and recommended software and hardware for establishing your own public safety workflow with drones.
Out in blue: mapping along the Indian Ocean
Mangrove swamps are important for biodiversity and storm protection. FlyingLabs set up a workshop where they could survey mangroves as well as teach local authorities about using photogrammetry.
A big map for a small island: surveying the Faroe Islands
Isolated in the Atlantic Ocean, authorities need up to date maps of these beautiful and wild islands. For this large scale project, Pix4Dmatic made life easier despite the challenging location and conditions.
Drone technology for golf course management
TerraView Solutions are using Pix4Dengine to leverage drone technology and mapping to provide comprehensive data for golf course management services.
1 day to 1 hour: cell tower inspection in Cameroon
SkyVue Solutions used Pix4Dinspect and Pix4Dscan for this use case last year, where the automated software and machine learning sped up the inspection process to just one hour, and saved inspectors a dangerous climb up the tower.
Making annotations with Pix4Dfields
The annotation tool in Pix4Dfields is available as soon as images are processed or a GeoTIFF is imported into a Pix4Dfields project. Use this tool to make notes and save them so that you can refer back to it as your field progresses.
