PIX4Dmatic: Advanced 3D Crash Scene Reconstruction Software

Crime & Accident Scene Mapping

Built on decades of technology refinement for professional engineering, surveying, and GIS, PIX4Dmatic transforms drone imagery and LiDAR into precise, measurable reconstructions of crime and accident scenes. Document vehicle positions, roadway geometry, evidence distribution, trajectories, and complex spatial relationships within a defensible 2D and 3D forensic record.

Strategic Planning

Before a major event occurs, transform stadiums, campuses, entertainment districts, and other vulnerable facilities into detailed, measurable 3D environments. Bring the planning team into the location virtually to evaluate access points, establish enforcement zones, identify overwatch and ISR positions, and plan staging, response, and evacuation routes.

Emergency Management

When large-scale emergencies demand precise modeling and coordinated planning, PIX4Dmatic transforms aerial imagery and LiDAR into measurable 2D and 3D intelligence. Determine available staging space, calculate material and debris volumes, evaluate access routes, and plan rescue extractions within a detailed representation of the affected area.

Intelligence & Site Analysis

In advance of a high-consequence warrant, protective operation, or limited opportunity to place surveillance technology, create a measurable model of the operational environment. Evaluate approach routes, distances, obstructions, potential overwatch perspectives, and possible ISR placement before personnel enter the location.

Calibration & Georeferencing

Calibrate imagery, review camera positions, apply coordinate reference systems, and improve spatial control with image geolocation, RTK/PPK data, ground control points, and checkpoints. A quality report helps teams document processing conditions and evaluate project accuracy.

Terrain Modeling

Classify ground points and turn complex mapped environments into usable terrain products. Produce bare-earth elevation models, triangulated surfaces, point grids, and contour lines for slope, drainage, access, search planning, and site documentation.

3D Reconstruction & Mesh

Generate dense point clouds and textured 3D meshes that preserve scene geometry and visual context. Navigate the reconstruction from different perspectives to examine structures, terrain, vehicles, evidence locations, and spatial relationships that may be difficult to understand from individual photographs.

Integrate LiDAR Point Clouds

Import compatible LAS or LAZ point clouds from drone LiDAR, terrestrial scanners, mobile mapping systems, and other sources. Register them with photogrammetric data to combine the visual detail of imagery with LiDAR geometry and ground penetration—especially valuable around vegetation, complex structures, and difficult terrain.

Feature Extraction & Vectorization

Convert mapped reality into useful CAD and GIS features. Extract and refine points, polylines, polygons, curbs, road markings, structural edges, terrain breaks, and other mission-relevant geometry while referencing the source imagery and 3D data.

3D Measurements & Scene Analysis

Measure from virtually any perspective. Analyze distance, area, elevation, clearance, and volume without repeatedly returning personnel to a hazardous or inaccessible location. Create section views and inspect spatial relationships inside the mapped environment.

Controlled Sharing of 3D Scenes

Extend desktop processing into PIX4Dcloud to collaborate with authorized investigators, planners, engineers, prosecutors, command staff, and partner agencies. Share maps, models, measurements, annotations, and project context without requiring every stakeholder to operate the desktop processing software.
