Pix4D Launches PIX4Dcatch 2.0 with Professional-Grade AR and RTK Compatibility

Pix4D, a Swiss company known for its innovative drone and terrestrial mapping solutions, has just announced the launch of PIX4Dcatch 2.0. This new version of the terrestrial scanning iOS mobile app is set to revolutionize the way Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals work.

PIX4Dcatch is a user-friendly 3D scanning and augmented reality (AR) visualization tool that combines photogrammetry and LiDAR technology. With the added compatibility with a variety of RTK devices, users can now achieve even greater precision and accuracy in their scans.

One of the key features of PIX4Dcatch is its ability to generate high-accuracy 3D models, allowing for precise measurements of distances and volumes. This makes it an invaluable tool for documenting existing site conditions and conducting detailed inspections. The app also allows for easy sharing and collaboration by exporting scans to CAD/GIS software.

With the introduction of professional-grade AR features in the 2.0 update, users can now overlay plans on-site in real time and visualize them for quick project approvals. Field notes and annotations can be sent directly from the office to the site, enhancing communication and efficiency. Additionally, the AR capabilities extend to visualizing underground utilities, reducing maintenance costs and streamlining trench documentation.

The integration with new RTK devices, such as the Emlid Reach RX and Trimble DA2, further enhances the app’s capabilities. Automatic Tag Detection for GCPs and MTPs, as well as compatibility with selected base stations, make PIX4Dcatch a comprehensive solution for surveying and construction professionals.

PIX4Dcatch is designed to work seamlessly with Pix4D’s cloud and desktop-based photogrammetry processing software, offering a complete end-to-end mapping solution. The app can be purchased through various channels, including the Pix4D website, resellers, and the App Store.

Pix4D, headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, is a global leader in mapping solutions with offices in the USA, Germany, Spain, Romania, and Japan. The company’s advanced algorithms based on computer vision, photogrammetry, and machine learning have set a new standard in the industry, providing users with accurate and reliable georeferenced maps and models.
