What software you use to prepare orthophotomaps, DTM, DSM, point cloud or 3d model with drones? I've used: Pix4D and APS.
I have used Agisoft Photoscan and Pix4D. Pix4D has more features, and also is more expensive that Photoscan..

For me Agisoft and Pix4D are very like, but Pix4D have more function which i can change.
I use Agisoft Photoscan Pro and it does everything I need it to and I think is more intuitive to use than other software. For Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA/uav) survey work you may find that using ground control points (positions recorded with GPS) will be important, depending on what you want to do with the outputs. This all works very well with Photoscan and costs less than Pix4D..... Have a look at www.aerial-cam.co.uk
In UK also you must have a special certificate for commercial flights?
Hello Sebastian, yes we have to have a Remote Pilot Qualification (Ground School and Flight Test) and be approved by the CAA. This enables the correct insurance and for each operation land owner permissions and risk assessments are required. If in controlled airspace we also need to contact air traffic control.
Has anyone used the function of processing video files in Pix4D?
I used this function but the effect was disastrous ... Have any of you received a satisfactory result? What settings did you use?
