PIX4Dsurvey solves the problem that sits between photogrammetric processing and formal survey delivery. Processing software produces point clouds, meshes, and orthomosaics dense, visually rich datasets that accurately represent the surveyed environment. But a surveyor's client does not want a point cloud. They want a drawing: boundaries, breaklines, contours, feature codes, and the vectorised CAD deliverable that engineering design, planning submission, and formal survey registration all require.
PIX4Dsurvey is the vectorisation environment where that conversion happens. Surveyors work directly within the point cloud and mesh data, extracting the vector features the deliverable requires road edges, building footprints, kerb lines, boundary features, drainage inverts, utility positions and exporting them as CAD-ready geometry in the formats that engineering and survey workflows consume.
Aerosmart supplies and supports PIX4Dsurvey licences across Africa, with the workflow training that gets survey teams producing formal deliverables from drone-collected data rather than being stuck with rich datasets they cannot convert into what the client is paying for.
Feature extraction, output formats, and survey workflow integration at a glance.
The core PIX4Dsurvey workflow is the extraction of vector geometry from dense point data. The surveyor navigates the point cloud, identifies the features the deliverable specification requires, and traces them as points, polylines, and polygons that snap accurately to the underlying point cloud elevation.
The result is a vector dataset that carries the accuracy of the original survey data but in the geometric format that CAD and GIS environments consume a road centreline as a 3D polyline rather than a band of points, a building footprint as a closed polygon rather than a cluster of returns, a boundary feature as a coded line ready for import into the cadastral system.
For African survey businesses delivering to engineering consultancies, land administration authorities, mining technical services departments, and infrastructure project managers this vectorisation step is what converts drone survey data into the deliverable format that these clients' internal workflows are built around. Without it, the survey team hands over a dataset the client cannot use.
Terrain modelling in PIX4Dsurvey goes beyond automated contour generation from raw point data. Breakline extraction the manual or semi-automated identification of terrain discontinuities like ridge lines, drainage channels, kerbs, and embankment edges constrains the terrain surface to respect these features rather than smoothing across them.
The practical difference is significant. An automatically generated contour set that does not respect breaklines rounds off kerb edges, smooths drainage channels into shallow depressions, and softens embankment crests producing a terrain model that looks plausible but misrepresents exactly the features that engineering design depends on.
Breakline-constrained TIN surfaces produce terrain models that engineering design software consumes directly drainage design against accurate channel geometry, road design against accurate existing surface levels, and earthwork calculation against a terrain surface that represents the actual site rather than a smoothed approximation.
Corridor projects require regular cross-sections along the alignment for design and quantity calculation. PIX4Dsurvey extracts sections at defined intervals along a specified alignment, producing the section geometry that road, rail, and pipeline design workflows require.
Surface-to-surface volume computation between a survey surface and a design surface, or between two survey epochs, produces the cut and fill quantities that earthwork payment certification and stockpile inventory both depend on.

PIX4Dsurvey operates entirely on local hardware. Survey point clouds, extracted vectors, and produced deliverables remain within the operator's controlled infrastructure. For land administration authorities and government survey departments across African markets where cadastral data carries sovereign sensitivity, local-only processing removes the cloud exposure that hosted alternatives introduce.
PIX4Dsurvey licences are available from aerosmart with remote activation across 14+ African countries. Contact our team for pricing and configuration advice.
PIX4Dsurvey converts point clouds and meshes into CAD-ready vector survey deliverables, extracting boundaries, breaklines, contours, and coded features, and exporting them in DXF, DWG, SHP, LandXML, and GeoPackage formats for engineering, GIS, and cadastral workflows.
Yes. PIX4Dsurvey imports point clouds produced by DJI Terra, PIX4Dmatic, and third-party LiDAR processing platforms in standard LAS and LAZ formats.
PIX4Dmatic processes raw imagery into point clouds, orthomosaics, and terrain models. PIX4Dsurvey takes those processed outputs and converts them into vectorised, CAD-ready survey deliverables.
They are sequential stages of the same workflow, not alternatives.
Yes. Surface-to-surface volume computation produces cut and fill quantities between a survey surface and a design surface, or between two survey epochs for stockpile and earthwork measurement.
DXF and DWG for CAD workflows, SHP and GeoPackage for GIS, and LandXML and CSV for survey data exchange, covering AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, QGIS, and Bentley platform requirements.
Yes. Breakline extraction constrains terrain surfaces to respect ridges, channels, kerbs, and embankment edges, producing terrain models that engineering design software consumes without the smoothing errors that unconstrained interpolation introduces.
