Pixpro Tutorial Videos Part 1 - Essentials
Lukas
Zmejevskis
Our Pixpro photogrammetry software is relatively easy to use, but everyone needs a starting point. We created a series of short videos that demonstrate how to begin using Pixpro even if you have never used the software before. This blog will serve as a playlist with some additional information for all of the videos.
If you prefer watching videos directly on YouTube, go to this playlist. You will find similar information in video descriptions. However, these videos are about software only and do not provide information about data capture. Our blog has many articles about that.
If you do not have a sample set ready for testing, no worries. You can download a very simple data set here on our website, or you can get a couple of more different sets we used in these videos. We also uploaded already processed projects with dense point clouds if you do not wish to test out processing capabilities yourself.

Conclusion
The next step for us is to create a video series for more advanced users, delving into topics like ground control points and other types of referencing, project comparison, DEM baseplanes, post-processing filters, etc. You can download the Pixpro photogrammetry software trial for free and start using Pixpro right away with the help of these videos and the samples we provided.

3D Point Clouds in Pixpro: How to Convert and Export Spatial Data
Photogrammetry software produces several types of spatial outputs, but the dense 3D point cloud is the foundation of them all. In Pixpro, the dense point cloud acts as the base dataset from which every other derivative is generated.
