This tutorial covers how to create 3D models and a variety of 2D outputs based on typical drone-based imagery. This focuses on processing of RGB and multispectral drone imagery with Pix4dMapper. Thermal data can also be processed using the exact same methods as RGB imagery, except by choosing "Thermal camera" as the processing template rather than "3D map". The process of reconstructing models from images (photogrammetry) is the starting point of drone data processing in agriculture and plant sciences.
