About this workshop


In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to use PIX4Dmatic to process drone data for collision reconstruction. You'll gain the skills to create 3D models, extract accurate measurements, and analyze accident scenes. By the end, you'll be ready to apply drone technology and PIX4Dmatic in real-world forensic investigations.

You may be transferred to another date if the minimum number of attendees is not reached.
