DJI Introduces DJI Terra Software

3D modeling and mapping software helps you analyze data and make decisions

DJI Terra is a new software for converting drone data into digital 3D models and maps for easier analysis and decision making. DJI Terra enables businesses and organizations to use DJI drone technology to capture, visualize, and analyze aerial imagery in a variety of applications including public safety, construction, infrastructure, agriculture, and film production.

“DJI continues to develop affordable hardware and software to help organizations streamline their workflows with drone technology and drive excellence in their operations,” said Sunny Liao, director of DJI Enterprise Europe. “DJI Terra is an all-in-one mapping and modeling solution that makes it easy to use drone data for a variety of purposes, from road accident maps and infrastructure visual inspections to agricultural field mapping and construction site simulations.”

Automatic route planning and data acquisition

Commercial drone pilots can quickly create flight paths in DJI Terra by selecting one of the options depending on the type of site or objects, map, or 3D model they plan to create. There are three types of tasks:

• Area planning (Area) – Set the boundaries of the flight area on the map for a quick survey of the area. DJI Terra automatically creates efficient flight path options based on the selected area.
• Waypoints – Create flight paths in or around an area using waypoints and customizable parameters such as aircraft altitude, speed, heading, stabilizer tilt, and field of view. For complex tasks that require more precise results, use 3D flight visualization to develop and simulate processes using existing 3D models.
• Diametric projections (Oblique) – Get rich data with multiple flights on the same route. With each flight, the camera’s angle of view is automatically adjusted to capture new details and obtain a detailed 3D model of the object from different viewing angles.

Real-time mapping and detailed 3D modeling

With its real-time mapping capability, DJI Terra allows drone pilots to quickly generate a 2D orthomosaic of the area in which they are flying. This is great for tasks where situational awareness is critical and decisions need to be made in minutes. DJI Terra is able to quickly process data and create high-quality and realistic projections of any areas and objects through the reconstruction of detailed 2D orthomosaics and 3D models. This is applied to reconstruct traffic accident events, track construction projects, or conduct large-scale infrastructure inspections on bridges and roads.

Data analysis made easy

In addition to creating maps and models, DJI Terra helps users analyze data and get an instant view of an object through distance, area, and volume information. The ability for users to edit annotations improves communication and reporting while working on projects. Users can get a detailed view of each shot used to create a model to locate and highlight important elements. This is necessary to conduct detailed site inspections and reconstruct accident events.

Purchase Information
