What Twinspect offers
| Key capabilities | Twinspect | Pix4Dcloud |
|---|---|---|
| Use case | Specialized in visual inspections. Strong with large-scale inspection projects and oblique imagery. | Used for drone mapping and site documentation. Strong in NADIR and photogrammetry. |
| Performance | Perfect for large datasets and output from the absolute highest resolution cameras. | Optimized for projects with up to 4000 images. |
| Inspection workflow | Comfortable UI with synced 2D and 3D views, cross-linked annotations and original imagery for detail inspection. | No visual inspection workflow available. 3D model point links to images that contain the point. Rudimental image annotation. |
| Image-based projects | Advanced workflow and capabilities, including defect annotation, documentation and AI-assisted defect detection. | No workflow for image-based projects. |
| 3D model quality | Photo-realistic 3D models. | Basic 3D models and point clouds. |
| 3D model creation | Supports LIDAR + images and thermal + RGB and rig-based projects. Input of external 3D models, from Agisoft Metashape, Bentley iTwin Capture Modeler, RealityCapture, Pix4Dmatic and DJI Terra is interconnected with project imagery and metadata. Coming soon: 3DF Zephyr and Trimble Business Center. | Supports Pix4D models. Imported external 3D models are not connected with the image dataset of the project. |
| AI defect detection | Predifined (cracks, corrosion, efflorescence, exposed rebar, graffiti) or custom AI models for various types of defects and surfaces. | No AI defect detection. |
| Annotations | Synced annotation of the images and models, easy switching between them. Custom annotation fields with severity degree, defect type, description, external link, etc. | Basic annotation: title, tag and a comment field. Possible for images and measurements. |
| Sections | Document the exact annotation locations with customizable views which are different planes of your asset. | No sections are possible. |
| Reports | Standalone, complete report, featuring defects, their precise location, supporting images and sections, severity grade and annotation statistics. Automated generation, customizable content and form. Multiple report versions for the same project are possible. | Automatically generated list of the names and tags of manually detected anomalies. One report per project. |
| File storage | Ability to attach files to projects or annotations, looking to centralize the documentation storage and avoiding to use third party drives for storing attachments. | No capabilities. |
| Georeferencing | Automatically generates a valid SRS for images that contain GNSS, even if the model wasn’t initially georeferenced. | Supports any coordinate system for representation and processing. Not offering georeferencing for non-geolocated projects. |
| Orthomosaic | Not available in the current software version. | Generated based on the DSM that is created from the Densified Point Cloud. |
| Timeline | Coming in 2025: comparison between datasets, defect evolution and visual comparison. | Ability to manually compare orthos and 3D models. |
| Collaboration | Granular role-based access to projects ensuring high security, and simple management per user. Sharing projects with stakeholders from the software or sharing a link, allowing for seamless access and feedback. | Rigid user management, project sharing via one link for all users. |
| UI and report languages | English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese traditional, Chinese simplified | English, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish, Thai, Japanese, Deutsch, and Korean |
| Licensing | Subscription based on 3 licence types with optional add-ons, depending on your needs and storage usage. | Credit system |
| Enterprise capabilities | Available options for enterprise customers: white labelling and isolated environments for your data security. API access and Single Sign-On coming in 2025. | Advanced features include API access and SSO. No white labelling is possible. |
