We’re thrilled to spotlight the latest update of a leading-edge tool that transforms professional environments—PIX4Dcatch 2.0. This free app now comes packed with new AR features and RTK support for precision in surveying and construction.
What Sets PIX4Dcatch 2.0 Apart?
With the app, professionals can easily overlay AR georeferenced DXF, IFC, or 3D models directly onto construction sites in real time. Moreover, this tool can visualise underground pipes post-trench closure, a game-changer for subsurface utility management. This powerful functionality ensures ongoing construction projects align perfectly with CAD designs, enhancing accuracy while cutting costs.
Advanced Features and RTK Compatibility
PIX4Dcatch 2.0 introduces expanded compatibility with RTK GNSS rovers such as the EMLID Reach RX, Trimble Catalyst DA2, and the upcoming BadElf Flex, in addition to the Pix4D-adapted viDoc RTK rover. This ensures that users can achieve sub-centimetre accuracy, enhancing efficiency in data collection across various project needs.
New Licensing Options
PIX4Dcatch 2.0 is now available in three subscription models—Discovery, Standard, and Professional. The Discovery tier offers basic GPS 3D scanning capabilities, perfect for casual or initial project assessments. The Standard license broadens project scope by enabling data export and project sharing via PIX4Dcloud. The Professional license unlocks full capabilities, including RTK support and AR features for unmatched precision in your projects.
Pix4D Autotags™
Pix4D has launched Pix4D Autotags™, robust tags made from aluminium and PVC, to optimise the precision and efficiency of surveying workflows using PIX4Dcatch 2.0. These tags, which support the app’s Tag Detection feature, are available for purchase in quantities up to 50, helping streamline point collection and enhance survey accuracy and speed.
Applications
Subsurface Utility Mapping
Pix4Dcatch can quickly scan open trenches and, after they’re closed, use AR to view subsurface utilities’ positions. The tool can also annotate and precisely measure volumes, areas, and distances. This speeds up project management, saving both time and costs.
Construction
PIX4Dcatch changes how CAD designs are viewed in real environments. It displays DXF and IFC files over actual construction sites. This enables accurate on-site measurements and project verifications and simplifies data uploads to PIX4Dcloud for improved team collaboration and project tracking.
Forensics
PIX4Dcatch makes it easy to capture crime scenes and reconstruct accidents. With Pix4D, data from drones and phones can be merged to create detailed 3D models. This technology simplifies the process of documenting and analysing incidents. The detailed models provide a comprehensive view of the scene.
Surveying
PIX4Dcatch merges terrestrial and drone imagery to create detailed 3D models, replacing traditional tools like laser scanners. Connected with RTK, it enhances the accuracy of data collection and simplifies the surveying process. This makes an efficient solution for collecting ground control points and achieving high precision.
