FEATURES AND BENEFITS
What you can expect from 3Dsurvey Pilot
This tool brings you some unique features and provides even greater efficiency.
Features and benefits for Android
- Automated drone flight & image acquisition
- Telemetry and live camera feed during the mission
- Simple workflow with 3Dsurvey's processing software
- Flight parameters for each mission - front & side image overlap, camera angle, flying height (AGL), flight speed - can be adjusted based on the requirements of the area and the project
- Advanced settings and options for demanding missions.

Plan your mission - flight plans for different needs
-
GRID Single Grid or Double Grid for mapping of rectangle areas - the fastest way for planning routes with simple settings.
-
POLYGON Mapping of advanced/irregular shaped areas - additional area shapes and advanced settings.
-
ROAD Developed specifically for simple and effective road, rail & corridor mapping.
-
CIRCLE Circular mission for object mapping - always facing your point of interest for object 3D model reconstruction.
-
URBANSCAN Best mission for 3D model of large urban area
-
FREE FLIGHT Position or time-based shutter trigger. Works also with Mavic mini 2 and Air 2s.
-
DOME Flight on multiple heights for single 3D object.
Please keep in mind: Make sure you have the latest firmware installed and the app is up to date. The app follows the flight plan and does not avoid obstacles automatically. 3Dsurvey accepts no liability for damage, injuries or legalities from the misuse of this app. Use only in safe environments and follow your local drone regulation.

After the flight, the captured images can be processed using the 3Dsurvey desktop software to generate high-resolution, accurate outputs such as:
- Dense point clouds
- 3D meshes
- Topography maps
- Elevation models (DSM, DTM, DEM)
- Orthophotos
- CAD files
- Contour lines
- Profiles and cross sections
The software supports various data sources, including LiDAR, Sonar, SLAM, and terrestrial scanners, and is optimized for fast processing with both CPU and GPU support.
