Add your users, pilots, and equipment.
Add historical flight logs.
Create profiles for each user.
Get reports across various data types.
Customize flight checklists.
Train and onboard users within minutes.

Compatibility

Fly and capture data with our user-friendly mobile app built for commercial use, available on iOS, Android, and DJI devices.

Measure Ground Control is compatible with a selection of drones and payloads.

Why Measure Ground Control

Optimize your workflow

Create new mission

Build missions from Measure Ground Control’s home screen. As a mission continues through each step, the mission status can be updated to provide stakeholders with insight into the operation.

Create flight plan

After you create a mission, you can choose from the list of existing flight plans or enter new coordinates to start a new one. You can upload a KML file, and customize the polygon flight pattern later.

Check airspace

Use the airspace tool to check for any airspace advisories in your flight area. Filter local advisories according to your chosen rule set.

Allocate resources

Easily schedule personnel and equipment to missions at various sites from within the Ground Control web portal. Quickly see all personnel involved in a mission, from data capture to delivery.

Choose flight settings

Users can set general preferences and adjust flight settings, including local data mode, overlap, resolution, GNSS corrections, connection loss behaviors, camera settings, gimbal angle, and other advanced settings.

Monitor flight

During the flight, users can actively monitor the data for peace of mind. Every time an image is captured by the drone, a camera icon will appear, providing for an easy way to check the image overlap.

Process data

Generate 2D & 3D models including orthomosaics, digital surface (DSM) and terrain models (DTM), point clouds and meshes, NDVIs, thermal maps and more using Pix4D’s photogrammetry software.

Inspect data

Once saved to a mission, operators in the field can access these plans in the flight app for flight execution. Any edits made in the app will be reflected to that plan on the web.

Import images into Scopito (Enterprise plan) for inspection and annotation. This tool supports transmission and distribution, wind, and other image types.

Create and share reports

All data that Measure Ground Control tracks over time can be compiled through our reporting function. The reporting tool can produce PDF reports or CSV exports to filter and sort your data easily. Some of the reports you can automatically extract are 30-day equipment utilization, drone fleet activity, pilot activity report, flags report and more.
