17. What will happen with Pix4Dag?

With the launch of Pix4Dfields, Pix4Dag will no longer be available on the store or among the Pix4D products. For active Pix4Dag users, they will be able to continue using it without any implications, however they will not be able to renew their Pix4Dag license once it expires. We are really excited about Pix4Dfields and believe that everyone in working in the agriculture industry will be happy to start using Pix4Dfields.

18. Which sensors can I use for Pix4Dfields?

Pix4Dfields is a product specialized for Agriculture. We support selected multispectral sensors like Parrot Sequoia cameras or MicaSense RedEdge cameras. We also support standard RGB and modiffied RGB cameras*. More cameras will be supported in the future. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our support and let them know what cameras you would like to see.

23. How can I get help from support about Pix4Dfields?

You can contact our support team if you need help with Pix4Dfields. Just be sure you indicate you need help with Pix4Dfields.

24. What hardware specifications do you need to run Pix4Dfields?

Please check the detailed hardware specifications on our Pix4Dfields Knowledge base.

25. What inputs and outputs can I use and export in Pix4Dfields?

Please check the detailed input and output list on our Pix4Dfields Knowledge base.

26. Does Pix4Dfields support creating custom vegetation indices?

Yes, with the Pix4Dfields version 1.3 you can now create custom indices by using the index calculator. Pix4Dfields also comes with a predefined list of the most used and popular indices: NDVI, NDRE, VARI, TGI, SIPI2, LCI, BNDVI, GNDVI MCARI. To learn more about how to use these vegetation indices, please visit our Pix4Dfields Knowledge base.

27. What’s the difference between a map generated in Pix4Dmapper and Pix4Dfields?

a) Pix4Dmapper takes fine-grained local variations in altitude into account when building maps, whereas Pix4Dfields uses a coarser ground model. If you have a lot of 3D structure in your maps, Pix4Dmapper will give more accurate results for the areas with the 3D structure. However, Pix4Dfields will still give good results on any surrounding flat areas.

b) Pix4Dfields can operate with lower overlap requirements compared to Pix4Dmapper.

28. Does Pix4Dfields include the same radiometric correction module as Pix4Dmapper?

Pix4Dfields includes a radiometric correction module that corrects for exposure, vignetting, etc. Pix4Dmapper offers a more complex radiometric correction module; this module will be included in Pix4Dfields in the near future. At that point Pix4Dmapper and Pix4Dfields will generate equally radiometrically accurate results.

29. What’s the geometric accuracy of Pix4Dfields?

Absolute: On flat terrain, it is accurate to 1 GSD, or the GPS accuracy of the camera, whichever is larger.

Relative: On flat terrain, accurate to 1 GSD of output orthomosaic.

On non-flat terrain, because Pix4Dfields uses a coarser ground model, no guarantees can be made. This will be fixed in a future release (with mesh ground plane) where we can guarantee certain accuracies even if the ground isn’t flat.

Note: flat means no curvature. The terrain can be inclined, and as long as there is no ground curvature/structure the Orthomosaic will still be accurate.

30. What is the difference between the Digital Surface Model (DSM) generated in Pix4Dfields and Pix4Dmapper?

While both DSMs are outputs generated with Pix4D software, each is more specific to the industry the software is created for. With the DSM generated in Pix4Dmapper you can get the accurate elevation value of each pixel, with or without above-ground objects, ready for your preferred GIS workflow. DSMs generated in Pix4Dfields capture major ground shapes but are less sensitive to small structures. They are a useful tool when addressing irrigation variability and pinpointing erosion prone areas, but are not intended for high resolution usage. The absolute altitude of the DSM generated in Pix4Dfields will depend on the quality of the GPS information from the image acquisition.

31. Is there going to be plant counting implemented in Pix4Dfields in the future?

Yes, our machine learning team is working on it, so expect it in the near future. If you would like to get notified about our new features and upgrades you can join our Pix4D agriculture newsletter.

32. Does Pix4Dfields process thermal imagery?

At this point in time Pix4Dfields doesn’t process thermal images, however depending on the frequency of requests for this feature, we might incorporate it in the future.

33. In zonation how do you decide if the zones are significantly different from each other?

Pix4Dfields automatically calculates the zones based on how many classes and level of detail you select. The values are based on clustering regions together.

34. Future Development

Pix4Dfields will be developing, growing and implementing new features specifically based on our user feedback. With this constant development you can expect updates in our software that will translate into better decision making catered for agriculture.
