About this app

3Dsurvey Pilot transforms your regular consumer drone into accurate surveying and mapping tool. A free addition to 3Dsurvey photogrammetry software, 3Dsurvey Pilot is the perfect tool to plan your missions and automatically capture images along with GPS data.
Post-flight processing of captured images is done easily with 3Dsurvey photogrammetry software, generating highly accurate, metric and geo-referenced results, such as dense point cloud, 3D mesh, topography map, elevation model, DSM, orthophoto. Perfect for any surveying professional.


Currently, the app supports the following drones:

• DJI
- Phantom 4 Pro V2
- Phantom 4 Pro
- Phantom 4
- Phantom 3 Professional
- Phantom 3 Advanced
- Mavic Air
- Mavic Pro
- Mavic 2 Pro
- Inspire 1 (Pro)
- Inspire 2
- Spark


Features and benefits:

- Plan your mission - flight plans for different needs
---GRID
Single Grid or Double Grid for mapping of rectangle areas - the fastest way for planning routes with simple settings
---POLYGON
Mapping of advanced/irregular shaped areas - additional area shapes and advanced settings
---ROAD
Developed specifically for simple and effective road, rail & corridor mapping
---CIRCLE
Circular mission for object mapping - always facing your point of interest for object 3D model reconstruction
---URBANSCAN
Best mission for 3D model of large urban area
---FREE FLIGHT
Position or time based shutter trigger. Works also with Mavic mini 2 and Air 2s
---DOME
Flight on multiple heights for single 3D object
- Automated drone flight & image acquisition
- Telemetry and live camera feed during the mission
- Simple workflow with 3Dsurvey's processing software
- Flight parameters for each mission - front & side image overlap, camera angle, flying height (AGL), flight speed - can be adjusted based on the requirements of the area and the project
- Advanced settings and options for demanding missions.


Post-flight processing & analysis using 3Dsurvey desktop software:

- Capture and recreate natural environment in digital form and survey from the office. Achieve high-resolution outputs with cm-grade accuracy.
- Use of Ground Control Points (GCPs) for improving the relative and absolute accuracy of the model
- Generate and modify:
--- Point clouds
--- Orthophotos
--- Digital 3D models (DSM, DTM, DEM)
--- CAD
--- Contour lines
--- Profiles and Cross sections
--- And more
- Measure:
--- Distances
--- Surfaces, Areas
--- Volumes
- Supports any drone & any camera/sensor. Works for aerial & terrestrial data acquisition methods. rTK- and EXIF GPS-ready for instant telemetry data import.
- 3Dsurvey is developed based on 300+ land surveying projects. Tailored to serve specific surveyors' needs. Cut fieldwork time by up to 100 times.
- Hybrid engine that utilizes both CPU and GPU for up to 15x faster image processing time. Large dataset support - 1000+ hi-res images.
- Compatible with third-party sources, data from LiDAR, Sonar, SLAM, terrestrial scanners. Seamless workflow for further combination with photogrammetric point clouds.

I'm having difficulties in the flight planning, because the software only takes photos on the edges of the turns. IE: if the software says it's gonna do 96 photos, in the end of the flight, I only have 15 photos. What can I be doing wrong? any help please???

You should try to adjust the speed of flying. You might be flying too fast.

Guys, THis app is one of my go to apps when it comes to flight planning, however, on DJI Air 2s,, I have a special problem that just seems to be tied with this model. During the preflight check, one random thing doesnt check out. Sometimes its the camera, other times the P mode, other times everything checks out but it just fails to upload the mission. Please Check whats up with this model of drone.

Even though all checks were green, connection to app servers was not possible at any time so app was unusable. Hard to make sense since photos should stay in the drone or mobile and get edited Ag a later time, let alone that survey sites can usually be out of mobile data connection

You do not need an internet connection to use the app, you can skip the survey at the beginning five times. It is still useful to have an internet connection, as you can see the map, where you are flying.

What’s new

- fix for Road mission drone speed
- fix for showing signal lost message
- fix for showing big mission message on flight mode switch
- fix for mission time estimates
- fix for urban scan camera angle
