#PIX4DMAPPER MANUAL FOR MAC#
QGIS and Agisoft Metashape are available for Mac OS, Linux, and Windows. The processing engine that does all the number crunching can be in the cloud, your network, or your computer. When connected to an OpenDroneMap processing engine, you can use it to stitch images into 2D and 3D products. WebODM Lightning is a lightweight GUI for Windows (free). ArcGIS Pro also has the ability to stitch drone images. ArcGIS Pro requires a subscription which can be expensive unless you have access to it through your organization (many colleges and universities provide it to their students and staff). QGIS is open source and therefore free to install and use. They’re both well-developed and supported. If you have to pick just one, Pix4Dmapper is slightly easier to use but also more expensive after the trial period.ĪrcGIS Pro and QGIS are desktop GIS software. You’re welcome to install them both if you want to take both workshops (Tues & Wed) to compare them. They have similar features and both offer trial licenses.
