Our Pixpro photogrammetry software is relatively easy to use, but everyone needs a starting point. We created a series of short videos that demonstrate how to begin using Pixpro even if you have never used the software before. This blog will serve as a playlist with some additional information for all of the videos.
If you prefer watching videos directly on YouTube, go to this playlist. You will find similar information in video descriptions. However, these videos are about software only and do not provide information about data capture. Our blog has many articles about that.
If you do not have a sample set ready for testing, no worries. You can download a very simple data set here on our website, or you can get a couple of more different sets we used in these videos. We also uploaded already processed projects with dense point clouds if you do not wish to test out processing capabilities yourself.

Conclusion
The next step for us is to create a video series for more advanced users, delving into topics like ground control points and other types of referencing, project comparison, DEM baseplanes, post-processing filters, etc. You can download the Pixpro photogrammetry software trial for free and start using Pixpro right away with the help of these videos and the samples we provided.

Pixpro Waypoints v2 - Orbitals and Height Offset for DJI Drones
Pixpro Waypoints is a service for consumer DJI drone users that provides consistent and automated flying for aerial photogrammetry purposes. For now, we had the essential single grid flight only, which is the bread and butter for making orthophoto images and terrain scans.

RTK Drone Photos for Ground Control Points
Real-time Kinematic—RTK—is a GPS positioning system that allows for much greater accuracy than any regular GPS device. Consumer-grade GPS is quite sufficient for daily tasks such as navigation, tracking, and photo tagging, but when it comes to surveying, we need more accuracy.

DJI Mini 4 Pro Photogrammetry - Pixpro Waypoints
DJI Mini 4 Pro is the best drone, weighing in under 250 grams, and thus, it avoids a lot of regulations that may be bothersome for some. However, it is also an excellent tool for professionals, many of whom may be interested in aerial photogrammetry.
