Drone NDVI Environmental Monitoring/Scanning in Python + VisualSFM vs. PIX4D

Using a custom made Dual Bandpass Filter I can obtain clear NIR, green and blue leveraged colour images which can be processed in Python + Visual SFM for free (using Code I developed in Python) and viewed in Meshlab. The advantage of this technique is affordability. Alternatively, using commercial software such as PIX4D I can use the reflectance maps to generate a high fedelity and clear NDVI, ENDVI, SAVI map with customisable colormaps which look professional and can be used in the PIX4D BIM suite for accurate volume and area measurements which can be a very useful tool for systemic analysis of a region. In my view PIX4D offers unequaled scope in what one can do with drone mapping.
