Integration between PIX4Dcatch app and ArcGIS Online enables users to document subsurface assets with ‘seamless precision’.
Esri has developed a terrestrial mapping workflow with Pix4D, which allows field teams to capture and process infrastructure asset data using the PIX4Dcatch smartphone app then manage it within ArcGIS, Esri’s geospatial platform
The PIX4Dcatch app, coupled with a real-time kinematics (RTK) device, is used to generate ‘high precision‘ geoferenced 3D scans of trenches and infrastructure models, which are then viewable as a Scene Layer in Esri ArcGIS Online.
Existing data can also be visualized in augmented reality for instant “as-designed” versus “as-built” verification before closing trenches.
“We are focused on turning hidden infrastructure into functional data,” said Andrey Kleymenov, CEO of Pix4D. “By connecting PIX4Dcatch with a compatible RTK device to the Esri ecosystem, we are enabling a terrestrial-scanning workflow that allows teams to update a master geodatabase with professional accuracy.”
“We are happy to work with Pix4D to offer infrastructure-focused organizations a seamless, direct path from the field into a geodatabase,” said Thomas Fair, Director, Esri Partner Network.
“This new integration with ArcGIS will provide users with high-fidelity documentation of subsurface assets.”
