Esri and Pix4D Launch Real-Time Terrestrial Mapping Workflow

Alliance Brings Seamless Integration of Asset Data into ArcGIS for PIX4Dcatch Users

Published on Feb. 19, 2026

Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, has launched a terrestrial mapping workflow with Pix4D, a Switzerland-based photogrammetry software company. The combined workflow allows field teams to capture and process asset data and manage it within ArcGIS, Esri's geospatial platform.

Why it matters

This new integration with ArcGIS will provide users with high-fidelity documentation of subsurface assets, enabling infrastructure-focused organizations to update their master geodatabase with professional accuracy.

The details

Field teams use the PIX4Dcatch app with real-time kinematics (RTK) devices to scan trenches and infrastructure. The generated high precision georeferenced records can now be published into Esri's ArcGIS Online. Scans become 3D models and point clouds, viewable as a Scene Layer. Existing data can also be visualized in augmented reality for instant 'as-designed' versus 'as-built' verification before closing trenches.

  • The new workflow was launched on February 17, 2026.
