Manufacturer specified performance targets Designer / Manufacturer specified targets

Accuracy: consistent and comparable maps throughout the season

Instant results: generation of high-resolution maps while in the field, without internet connection

Agriculture intuitive: layer comparison, zone and prescription tools

Collaboration: upload and access information between team members

Vetted performance Findings of manufacturer evaluations or independent testing centers

Acquisition of plot statistical information (NDVI mean, median, stdev and min & max) from indices, helped understand the impact of different agricultural techniques over the crops.

Pix4Dfield was updated with radiometric corrections, allowing to map bigger areas while reducing processing time. This reduces waiting times from several hours to minutes.
