News Summary
DJI has upgraded its Terra 3D modeling software to include advanced 3D Gaussian Splatting technology, enhancing aerial surveying and modeling accuracy. The software is optimized for DJI drones, making aerial data capture, processing, and modeling more efficient across industries such as construction, agriculture, and public safety. With processing speeds of up to 500 photos per hour, users can create detailed models rapidly, streamlining project timelines. This version supports diverse imaging techniques and offers a user-friendly interface, simplifying complex operations for professionals while ensuring high-quality outputs.
DJI Terra 5.0 Advances Aerial Surveying and Mapping with New 3D Gaussian Splatting Feature
DJI has unveiled an exciting update to its Terra 3D modeling software with the integration of advanced 3D Gaussian Splatting technology, aimed at enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of aerial surveying and mapping. This latest version expands the capabilities of DJI Terra, making it a comprehensive solution for professionals in industries such as construction, agriculture, and infrastructure inspection.
Enhanced Features for Accurate Modeling
DJI Terra 5.0 is designed to create precise 2D and 3D models using images captured by drones, specifically optimized for DJI’s drone products. The standout feature of this upgrade is its ability to create realistic 3D models rapidly from photos, significantly improving the output quality compared to traditional methods. The 3D Gaussian Splatting technique not only enhances the representation of fine structures but also excels in capturing reflective and transparent surfaces as well as vegetation.
Streamlined Workflow with Faster Processing
The efficiency of modeling processes has reached new heights with DJI Terra’s enhanced processing capabilities. The software can now handle approximately 500 photos per hour, allowing users to complete modeling for a single block in just 30 to 40 minutes. For larger projects, involving over 10,000 images, the reconstruction speed doubles compared to the previous Terra Mesh tool. This rapid speed allows users to complete complex projects swiftly, significantly shortening overall project timelines.
User-Friendly Interface and Seamless Integration
To improve user experience, DJI has redesigned the Terra interface, introducing reconstruction parameter templates that simplify drone operations. The software supports both visible light images and data collected by DJI LiDAR systems, facilitating a more unified approach. This integration reduces complexity and minimizes mistakes that often arise from using multiple tools from different providers, streamlining the entire process from data capture to generating actionable models.
Broad Application Across Industries
DJI Terra 5.0 is versatile, providing services that cater to various sectors such as public safety, cultural heritage preservation, and urban planning. It can efficiently carry out city-wide 3D modeling projects with minimal computing resources and accommodate large-scale operations, processing up to 30,000 images in a single run with only 300-400 images per gigabyte of RAM.
License Options and Improvements for Existing Users
For new and existing users, DJI offers updated license options, including a Standard and a Flagship version. The Flagship version features support for visible light 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction, offering enhanced capabilities for rigorous applications. Furthermore, current users of DJI Terra 4.x can upgrade to the 5.0.0 version at no cost, with licenses moving over automatically.
Advanced Support for Diverse Applications
The software also includes advanced LiDAR reconstruction and multispectral data support, providing actionable insights in various fields. The ability to export finished splat reconstructions in open formats, such as PLY and Cesium’s B3DM 3D Tiles, ensures seamless integration into existing workflows. These enhancements enable users to conduct thorough inspections and analyses with DJI’s Matrice 4E, Matrice 400, Zenmuse P1, Zenmuse L2, and D-RTK 3 drones.
Commitment to Innovation in Spatial Data Reconstruction
DJI emphasizes that the integration of the 3D Gaussian Splatting feature is critical to maintaining its leading status in fast and accurate spatial data reconstruction. The company’s commitment to innovation continues to support professionals in achieving high-quality results quickly and efficiently, redefining the future of aerial surveying and mapping.
