Big news for enterprise DJI drone users as Terra, the company’s 3D modeling software, is set to get some new next-generation reconstruction technologies, including a powerful and impressive new 3D Gaussian Splatting feature.
These new tools and updates will support accurate and efficient 2D and 3D reconstruction from visible light imagery and will be able to process all of the data collected by DJI LiDAR technology.
When integrated with DJI drones, Terra is able to deliver a unified hardware and software solution for data acquisition, processing, and application, which should help streamline all of your aerial survey workflows for greater efficiency and accuracy.
DJI Terra 3D Gaussian Splatting
This new 3D Gaussian Splatting feature will be able to quickly generate detailed and realistic 3D models from photos, accurately restoring diverse scenes such as cultural relics, architectural projects, urban blocks, and scenic gardens.
When compared to visible-light oblique photogrammetry technology, 3D Gaussian Splatting significantly enhances the representation of complex elements like fine structures, transparent and reflective objects, and vegetation.
Plus, in addition to producing more natural rendering effects, this technology can also generate distortion-free orthomosaics, further improving the quality of the results.
2D-3D Data Fusion-Based Modeling
What’s most interesting about this new technology is how Terra is able to enable deep integration of LiDAR and visible light data. With a single Zenmuse LiDAR acquisition, users can simultaneously generate high-precision point clouds, 2D maps, and 3D mesh models.
This data fusion approach significantly enhances model completeness and detail, especially in environments with complex structures such as bridges and substations. It meets the needs of industries including power, energy, transportation, and infrastructure.
Terra is also deeply compatible with DJI Enterprise drones and supporting equipment. When used with Matrice 4E, Matrice 400, Zenmuse P1, Zenmuse L2, and D-RTK 3, Terra should be able to deliver cost-effective visible light and professional-grade LiDAR mapping solutions, ideal for a wide range of aerial survey applications.
