DRONEDEPLOY
We're going to be talking about 3D mapping that uses system DroneDeploy. DroneDeploy basically is a company that is trying to make it really easy to get topographical data, aerial maps, and to do 3D modeling and something new that this leading cloud software platform is trying instead of the DJI Go app. Using mobile app – which is available on both Android and iOS – it’s possible to transform a range of DJI drones into reliable and powerful mapping tools. These stills can be used to create a range of visualised data from 2D maps to 3D models. And it basically makes a flight path for determining how many photos it's going to take and what order it's going to take them and you can adjust it by selecting these points you can actually kind of fine-tune the area that you want on. So it has geofencing now what about the overlap and everything is that predetermined for you.

PIX4D
Pix4D has been designed to allow professionals to generate high-quality 2D and 3D surface models through the use of aerial imagery. The advanced photogrammetry aspect of the software uses the images captured by UAVs to generate results ranging from point clouds to digital surface and terrain models, orthomosaics to textured models. There is a range of products available for Pix4D all aimed at different markets and professional services. There are Pix4D mapper Pro, Pix4D bim, Pix4D Ag, and Pix4D model. Founded in 2011, Pix4D is rapidly expanding from its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, to offices in San Francisco, Shanghai, and Berlin.
HOW PIX4D APPLIES TO AGRICULTURE INDUSTRIES
