Take your drone mapping and 3D modeling projects to the next level with DJI Terra Flagship – an advanced all-in-one software solution for photogrammetry, LiDAR data processing, and spatial analysis. This 1-year electronic license is a great choice for users who want powerful tools for creating highly detailed 2D maps, 3D models, point clouds, and multispectral reconstructions in one streamlined workflow.
Designed to work seamlessly with DJI drones and enterprise payloads, DJI Terra helps speed up every stage of the job – from data collection and processing to final export and analysis. Whether you're capturing urban environments, industrial sites, infrastructure, farmland, or natural terrain, the Flagship version gives you the flexibility and performance needed for demanding projects.

One of the standout features of the Flagship edition is support for 3D Gaussian Splatting, allowing you to generate highly realistic spatial models from photos. This technology performs especially well when reproducing complex architecture, monuments, vegetation, reflective surfaces, and fine details. Compared to classic oblique photogrammetry, it handles transparency, reflections, and intricate structures much more effectively, while also helping create cleaner, less distorted orthomosaics.

DJI Terra is built for speed. It can process around 500 photos per hour, making it a strong choice for users who want to turn captured imagery into actionable results without long delays. In single-block modeling tasks, reconstruction can take as little as around 30–40 minutes. For larger projects with over 10,000 images, the software delivers significantly improved performance, helping you complete large-scale mapping and modeling jobs more efficiently.

The Flagship version is well suited for demanding environments such as city districts, industrial parks, utility corridors, and large infrastructure networks. DJI Terra can process approximately 300–400 photos per 1 GB of available RAM, and a single reconstruction task can include up to 30,000 images. That makes it a practical solution for users working on expansive digital twin, planning, or inspection projects.

Despite its advanced toolset, DJI Terra remains relatively accessible from a hardware perspective. Smooth operation is possible with a graphics card featuring 4 GB of VRAM and 32 GB of RAM, so you can start advanced reconstruction work without immediately investing in an extremely expensive workstation.

Completed reconstruction results can be exported with just a few clicks to widely used formats such as PLY and B3DM (3D Tiles). This makes DJI Terra a versatile tool for users working in surveying, urban planning, environmental analysis, visual production, game development, and many other creative or technical fields.

DJI Terra can generate high-quality 3D models, point clouds, orthomosaics, and DSM terrain data directly from photos. You can also adjust 2D map resolution and 3D mesh density to match your project needs. When paired with DJI drones equipped with RTK positioning, the software can produce highly accurate mapping results that meet professional precision requirements, even without using ground control points in selected workflows.

DJI Terra is efficient enough to deliver results even while you're still on-site, especially for smaller projects. For larger 3D reconstructions, the software can process up to 30,000 photos in three days on a single workstation. In 2D workflows, 5,000 photos can be processed in under 2 hours, making it easier to move from flight to final output without unnecessary downtime.

DJI Terra Flagship also supports advanced LiDAR and visible-light data integration. A single flight with compatible equipment such as the Zenmuse L2 can generate detailed point clouds, 2D maps, and 3D mesh models at the same time. This allows for more complete and accurate reconstructions of challenging structures like bridges, industrial facilities, and complex terrain. The software also supports automated route planning based on local 3D models or point clouds, including data from external sources.

When working with LiDAR point clouds, DJI Terra can process roughly 1 GB of point cloud data per 1 GB of available RAM. In practical terms, a computer with 32 GB RAM can handle up to 120 GB of data, covering an area of around 10 km². For city-scale datasets, systems with 128 GB RAM can be used for even larger and more demanding jobs.

DJI Terra supports multispectral data captured by drones such as the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral and Phantom 4 Multispectral. You can create vegetation index maps including NDVI and NDRE, generate reflectance maps, and prepare spraying routes for DJI Agras drones, including variable-rate operations. This makes the software a strong option for users interested in precision farming, crop monitoring, and more efficient field management.

DJI Terra works closely with a wide range of DJI Enterprise hardware, including solutions such as DJI Matrice 4E, DJI Matrice 400, Zenmuse P1, Zenmuse L2, and the D-RTK 3 station. Together, they create a complete and convenient workflow for photogrammetry, mapping, and LiDAR-based modeling.

With just one click, you can transfer your model from DJI Terra to DJI Modify – DJI’s mesh and point cloud editing software. This expands your workflow with tools for smoothing, noise reduction, sampling, terrain classification, and exporting data to GIS and CAD environments. It’s a convenient way to go from capture to post-processing and final sharing with minimal friction.

DJI Terra includes a rich set of advanced features such as local and cloud-based PPK processing, control and checkpoint marking, support for over 8,500 coordinate systems, PRJ files, and seven-parameter transformations. It also supports measurements, annotations, and exporting data aligned with local cartographic standards.

DJI Terra Flagship is a powerful choice for users who need precise spatial analysis and efficient data handling. It can be used for surveying and mapping, public safety planning, energy and utility inspections, oil and gas applications, water infrastructure, construction, precision agriculture, as well as visual projects in film and game production.
