Automated data capture with DJI Matrice 4E
Workflow video showcasing the process of using Smart 3D Capture on the DJI Matrice 4E drone. This mode helps to automate and simplify precision modelling tasks.
From a sparse point cloud to a detailed 3D model: This workflow video shows how Smart 3D Capture on the DJI Matrice 4E automates and simplifies precision modelling tasks.
Smart 3D Capture brings an innovative end-to-end workflow:
1 - Initial Mapping Mission: Captures site data to visualise the survey area and identify hazardous obstacles.
2 - Sparse Point Cloud: From the initial flight, a sparse point cloud is generated on the controller.
3 - Define Flight Area: Select the flight area within the point cloud. The detailed flight plan is built within this area.
4 - Automated Mission: Drone conducts automated mission based on the flight plan and captures images from multiple angles for complete data coverage and enhanced efficiency.
5 - 3D Model: Data processed in DJI Terra to create an accurate 3D model.
Not only does this mode automate modelling tasks, but the ability to generate on-site flight routes based on up-to-date information ensures robust data collection.
DJI M4E comes with a free 12-month DJI Terra licence.
