Third-Party Software: Drone2Map

SlantView image exports for Pix4D are compatible with Drone2Map so the first step is to use the Pix4D export function to prepare the images for processing in Drone2Map. Note that the images need to be collected with the overlap recommended by Drone2Map.

Exporting Imagery from SlantView

Step 1: From a new SlantView window, select 'Settings' > 'Export Options'.

Step 2: Select 'Pix4D' targeted processing. Click 'OK'.

Step 3: Navigate to the pre-processing window by selecting 'Data' > 'Process dataset'.
