- [Lecturer] There are many new terms you'll be introduced to while learning Pix4D. In this video, you'll learn how to self educate on these, and have an overview of the most common terms I'll be teaching in this course. Here we are at the Pix4D support site, and I just typed in, 'What is', and I wrote whatever, point cloud, orthomosaic. Whatever you say, it will pop up this particular window. And now, in this case, you can just look at these definitions, and it's really nice because they just sort of fly out. before we move on with the processing options. In this case, it says, 'What is a densified point cloud?' In other words, when you do pixel to pixel matching in Pix4D, it's taking images, it's stitching them together. And then it's looking for pixel matching to create a 3D point cloud point for that particular pixel. So when you have a certain amount of matches in those images, it will actually pull a 3D point from that to generate this point cloud. And in Pix4D they actually…
