Warning
1. Ensure your flight area is safe before each flight.
2. Be sure to maintain a visual line of sight (VLOS) to your aircraft at all times.
3. The aircraft will continue its mission, meaning Failsafe RTH will not be triggered, if the remote
controller signal is lost during the mission.
4. When the GNSS signal is strong and the RTH button is pressed and held during a mission, the
aircraft will stop the mission immediately and begin RTH. Users can resume the mission if required.
5. When there is only sufficient battery power for RTH during a mission, the remote controller will
alert for a few moments, the aircraft will pause the mission, and begin RTH. After replacing the
battery, the mission can resume from the paused point
6. When using an aircraft with obstacle avoidance function, check that the Sensing System is
operational in the current surroundings. If it is not, disable it in DJI Terra (go to > ), or flight
may be adversely affected.
7. All of the altitude values in DJI Terra are relative to the altitude of the takeoff point. In the same
mission, the altitude above sea level for the same point during the mission will vary if taking off at
different altitudes.
Introduction
DJI Terra is a PC software designed to improve mission performance efficiency for industrial
applications including — but not limited to — agricultural plant protection, search and rescue,
and firefighting. It can control a DJI aircraft* to fly along a planned 2D or 3D route and provides
functions such as 2D map reconstruction, 3D model reconstruction, field planning, and more.
* Support for DJI devices will be added as testing and development continues. Visit the DJI Terra product
page on dji.com for a complete list. https://www.dji.com/dji-terra
DJI Terra has four versions: Agriculture, Pro, Electricity, and Cluster. To purchase DJI Terra, visit the
DJI Online Store or a DJI authorized dealer. After purchasing, activate licenses and bind devices
using DJI Terra. For more information, refer to More Functions.
Agriculture version includes functions such as real-time 2D mapping, 2D map reconstruction (for
field and fruit tree scenes), 2D multispectral reconstruction, agriculture applications, and LiDAR
point cloud processing.
Pro version includes all the functions from Agriculture version with additional functions such as
importing KML files, importing image POS data, 2D map reconstruction (for urban scenes), ROI
reconstruction, output coordinate system settings, multi-GPU reconstruction, 3D model reconstruction,
3D Mission Planning, GCP management, and LiDAR point cloud accuracy optimization.
Electricity version includes all the functions from Pro version with additional functions such as 3D
model reconstruction (for power lines scenes) and detailed inspection.
Cluster version includes all the functions mentioned above and enables multiple devices in the
same local network to be used to perform cluster reconstruction.
* For DJI Terra earlier than v3.9.0, real-time 2D mapping does not require NVIDIA graphics cards with a
computing power of 6.1 or above.
NOTE:
The requirements for 2D map reconstruction / 3D model reconstruction / real-time 3D mapping
are equally applicable to real-time 2D mapping. There are no mandatory requirements on the
graphics card for real-time 2D mapping. However, using a low-performance computer for real-time
2D mapping may result in delayed performance. If using an NVIDIA graphics card, the processing
speed will be faster. Computing power is a key metric of a graphics card’s performance. For more
information about the NVIDIA graphics card computing power, go to https://developer.nvidia.com/
cuda-gpus#compute.
It is recommended to use the graphics cards listed above. If using other models, please contact
DJI Support before use.
Make sure that the graphics card driver is up-to-date regardless of the models.
Refer to Preparation Before Using DJI Terra on the official DJI website for more information on
hardware and other configuration requirements when using the Cluster version.
https://www.dji.com/downloads/products/dji-terra
1. Visit the DJI Terra product page on dji.com using your computer to download and install the software.
2. Launch DJI Terra and log in with your DJI account. If an offline license was purchased, offline
login is required. Refer to Preparation Before Using DJI Terra for more information.
When using the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, make sure to connect the remote controller to the
computer first and then power it on. Otherwise, DJI Terra cannot recognize the device.
Currently, the Phantom 4 RTK (SDK) remote controller (which refers to the Phantom 4 RTK
remote controller without a display device) is not supported by DJI Terra.
If you want to use DJI GO 4 or other apps on a mobile device connected to the USB port on
the remote controller, be sure to switch the remote controller communication mode to App
mode in DJI Terra. The switching procedure is similar to the one above. The only difference
is choosing “App Mode.”

DJI TERRA User Manual
Set a waypoint flight path, then define waypoint actions for each waypoint.
Mapping
DJI Terra automatically generates efficient flight paths after user has set their required
flight area and camera parameters. The aircraft will then follow this route throughout
its mission. Real-time 2D mapping or real-time 3D mapping (of low accuracy) during
a mission can be enabled. After the mission is complete, users can also import the
original images into DJI Terra for 2D map reconstruction or 3D model reconstruction (of
high accuracy).
Oblique
This function automatically generates five flight paths after users have set their
required flight area and parameters. These include a single flight path with a gimbal
pitch angle of -90°, indicating a downward facing direction. Subsequently, this is
followed by four flight paths with a customizable gimbal pitch of more than -90°
to capture photos from multiple angles such as forward, backward, leftward, and
rightward. After the mission is complete, users can import the original images onto
DJI Terra for 3D model reconstruction of different resolutions.
Corridor
DJI Terra automatically generates corridor flight area and several independent
flight paths after the user has set the corridor points, expansion distance, and
flight band cutting distance. After the mission is complete, users can import the
original images into DJI Terra for 2D map or 3D model reconstruction.
Detailed Inspection
DJI Terra automatically generates waypoints to make up the inspection flight path
after the user has imported models from 3D reconstruction results using DJI Terra
or third-party LAS point cloud files, added target points on the model, and set
shooting distance, flight route speed, and other parameters. After planning the
flight route, users can choose from: 1. Export a KML file and upload it to the DJI
Pilot app and perform the mission (requires Phantom 4 RTK (SDK), Matrice 300
RTK, or Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced); 2. Export a KMZ file and upload it to the
DJI Pilot app and perform the mission (requires Matrice 30 series or DJI Mavic 3
Enterprise series); 3. Upload a KML file to a Waypoint Mission in DJI Terra and
perform the mission (requires Phantom 4 RTK).

Cluster version. Refer to Cluster Reconstruction for cluster reconstruction settings.
Advanced Settings:
a. GCP Management: click to enter the GCP management page. Refer to the related section for
more information.
b. Feature Point Density: High density will take a medium amount of time for reconstruction, which
is recommended for medium quality. Low density will take the shortest amount of time for
reconstruction.
c. Distance to Ground/Subjects: distance between ground/subjects when collecting data. If multiple
distances exist, use the shortest distance for calculation. The larger the distance value, the slower
the aerial triangulation calculation speed. The default value applies to a majority of scenarios.
d. Output Format: The format of the file will be Terra by default. Users can change the output to
an XML format (such as an XML ContextCapture Blocks Exchange file) and define its output
coordinate system.
5. 2D Map Settings
When 2D map is enabled, the reconstruction results will include a 2D map. Click 2D Map to
expand the setting menu.
Resolution: High refers to the original resolution, Medium refers to 1/2 of the original resolution (the
length and width are both 1/2 of the original photo), and Low refers to 1/4 of the original resolution (the
length and width are both 1/4 of the original photo). For example, if the resolution of the original photo
is 6000×6000, it will be the same in High, 3000×3000 in Medium, and 1500×1500 in Low.
Mapping Scenes: Field is suitable for open areas with objects of small height difference such
as farmland, Urban is suitable for areas with more buildings and will produce a downsampled
DSM result with a GSD of 5 m/pixel, and Fruit Tree is suitable for areas with objects of large
height difference such as orchard. DJI Terra will recognize in the reconstruction result to mark
different areas such as fruit trees, buildings, and ground. After reconstruction, in the Agriculture
Application page, users can add boundary points of a flight area and calibration points and
DJI Terra can automatically generate a flight path according to the recognition results. Refer to
Agricultural Application for more information.
Computation Method: cluster computation can be selected for reconstruction when using the
Cluster version.
Advanced Settings:

Maps (DOM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) will be divided.
d. Light Uniformity: In a strong light environment, the glossy surfaces of land or crop canopies
may cause mirror-like reflections leading to brightness on one side and shadows on the
other. The reconstructed map will show stripes in gradients. Enabling this feature will improve
reconstruction effects for the field scene.
e. Haze Reduction: Enabling this feature will improve reconstruction effects for a hazy scene.
Enabling this feature for scenes other than those above may cause color distortion in the
reconstruction output. Only use this feature in appropriate situations. Light Uniformity
and Haze Reduction cannot be enabled at the same time.
6. 3D Model Settings
Resolution: High refers to the original resolution, Medium refers to 1/2 of the original resolution (the
length and width are both 1/2 of the original photo), and Low refers to 1/4 of the original resolution (the
length and width are both 1/4 of the original photo). For example, if the resolution of the original photo
is 6000×6000, it will be the same in High, 3000×3000 in Medium, and 1500×1500 in Low.
Mapping Scenes: same as the setting for Aerotriangulation.
Computation Method: cluster computation can be selected for reconstruction when using the
Cluster version.

user can set the model origin for each mission to the same coordinates.
When updating a part of the model, the user can set the model origin and the splitting
origin of the ROI in the updated mission to the same coordinates set for the previous
mission. The original reconstruction result can be replaced by copying the updated one.
d. Output Format: enable or disable the options below to select the desired reconstruction results.
Point Cloud option: If enabled, a 3D point cloud will be generated. The default format for the
point cloud is pnts. Users can set to other formats. LAS refers to the ASPRS LASer format for
the 3D point cloud file. S3MB refers to the s3mb format for the SuperMap LOD 3D point cloud
file. PLY or PCD refers to the ply or pcd format for the non-LOD 3D point cloud file respectively.
If point cloud is selected to be output in PLY, LAS, or PCD format, users can select the “Merged
Output” option to merge multiple output result files into one.
Model option: If enabled, a 3D model will be generated. The default format for the LOD
model is b3dm. Users can also output into other formats. OSGB refers to the osgb format for

File Format and Storage Path of Aerial Triangulation and 3D Reconstruction Results
DJI Terra can output aerial triangulation results in the following formats: Terra and XML.
If PC GS Pro has been used on your computer, after DJI Terra has been installed, the
cache directory will still be as follows:
C:\Users\<computer name>\Documents\DJI\Groundstation\Missions\<DJI account name>
Multispectral Reconstruction
Multispectral reconstruction is only supported when using photos captured by the P4 Multispectral.
The reconstruction procedure is similar to that of 2D map reconstruction. Users can view the
supported vegetation index outputs. Radiometric correction is available before reconstruction to
improve the reliability of the output index when images of the calibration board and the camera
reflectance factor can be obtained.
Annotations and measurements can be done after reconstruction. Enter the agricultural application
page to plan operations on the 2D multispectral map. Refer to the related section for more information.
Radiometric Correction
Radiometric correction can reduce the effects on images caused by weather and time and helps to
output more reliable indexes in reconstruction missions. Multispectral images with radiometric correction
can be reconstructed to a 2D multispectral map with an output of reflectance. Click Advanced in the 2D
map setting menu and then Radiometric Correction to enter the page. After configuration, return to the
reconstruction page to start reconstruction with radiometric correction.
Even if only one photo is missing from a required band for the desired vegetation index, it is
considered that the information of that whole band is missing. Users can view which photos
are missing in the required band in the photo list.
If PC GS Pro has been used on your computer, after DJI Terra has been installed, the
cache directory will still be as follows:
C:\Users\<computer name>\Documents\DJI\Groundstation\Missions\<DJI account name>

3D View
In 3D view, users can add coordinates, measure distance, area and volume based on a specified
coordinate system. For example, when using the photos captured by a Phantom 4 RTK aircraft
in WGS84 coordinate system, the altitude involved in Annotation and Measurement refers to the
ellipsoidal height. If using other coordinate systems, the altitude corresponds to the elevation in the
coordinate system that the photos use.
The method for adding coordinates and measuring distances and areas is similar to the one used in
2D reconstruction, but the data included in area measurements will be different. When measuring the
volume, it is required to select the base plane. The following is a description of the data of area and
volume in 3D reconstruction.
Area: The projection area refers to the projected area of the polygon area formed by the added
measurement points along the elevation direction. The fitted area refers to the area value for the
polygonal area on the plane fitted using the added measurement points.
Volume: When projecting the polygon area formed by the added measurement points along
the elevation direction, a polyhedron is produced. With reference to the specified base plane,
the volume refers to the cut and fill volume of the model. The portion above the base plane (the
direction in which the elevation is increased) is the cut, and the portion below the base plane (the
direction in which the elevation is reduced) is the fill. There are two options for the base plane, the
Mean Plane and the Lowest Point.
• Mean Plane: A plane (possibly an inclined plane) fitted with multiple measurement points as the
reference plane.
• Lowest Point: Use the plane of the lowest elevation point among the measurement points as the base
plane.
The Annotation and Measurement of the 3D model also includes the function to display the camera
pose when adding coordinates.
1. Enable “Camera Pose” and the green patterns indicates the camera pose when the photo was
captured.
2. Click to enter Coordinate Adding mode.
3. Click on the model to select a point. The camera pose display of the photos including the
selected point will turn yellow, and a photo preview from the camera's perspective will be

GCP Management
Ground Control Points (GCPs) are marked points on the ground with known coordinates
and are clearly visible in an image. GCPs can be obtained using photogrammetry
methods such as GPS-RTK or a total station. GCPs are used to optimize the result of aerial
triangulation. There are also check points that are used to check for the absolute accuracy
of aerial triangulation.
When generating visible light reconstructions, users can import GCPs after importing images to
help increase the robustness and accuracy of aerial triangulation, check the accuracy of the aerial
triangulation against actual measurements, and convert the aerial triangulation result into the one in
the GCP’s coordinate system. Note that the positioning and pose of the camera should be included
in the added images or be imported after images added.
Click on the right of GCP Management bar to enter the page. The page includes GCP list,
GCP information, photo gallery, aerial triangulation view, and marking view. The marking view will

positioning is not available due to a weak GNSS signal. Users can choose to continue the mission
if the signal is strong. When continuing, the aircraft will continue from its last recorded point.
2. Smart Low-Battery Level: When there is only sufficient battery level for RTH, an audio prompt will
emit from the remote controller. After a few seconds, the aircraft will stop the mission and begin
RTH. Users can cancel the RTH by pressing the Smart RTH button on the remote controller.
The mission can be continued and the aircraft will continue the mission from the point where
recording stopped after replacing battery.
3. Low Battery Level / Critically Low Battery Level: When the battery level is lower than the Low
Battery value pre-set in the app*, an audio prompt will sound from the remote controller. When
the battery level is lower than the Critically Low Battery value pre-set in the app, an audio prompt
will sound from the remote controller. The aircraft will stop the mission and land automatically.
The mission can be continued and the aircraft will continue the mission from the point where
recording stopped after replacing battery.
* App refers to all the apps used with the aircraft, for example DJI GO 4.
Mission Complete
After finishing a mission, the aircraft will perform the pre-set “Finishing Action.” The aircraft can be
controlled freely afterward.
For a Mapping mission:

2. Real-Time 3D Mapping
This is a premium function. Please purchase a license and then activate it before use. For more
information, refer to More Functions.
If enabled, DJI Terra will process the photos captured during a mission and display the 3D point
cloud results on the map in real time. Users can import the original photos into DJI Terra after
the mission is complete for 3D model reconstruction with higher accuracy. The default real-time
3D mapping results include both the point cloud and model results. The real-time model results
can be removed by unchecking the model option box.
If disabled, there will not be any real-time results.
Real-time 3D mapping is only available when using the Phantom 4 RTK, Phantom 4 Pro
V2.0+ or Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 aircraft. The real-time 2D mapping and real-time 3D mapping
cannot be enabled simultaneously.
4. Finishing Action
Aircraft action after mission complete.
Hover: The aircraft will hover at the final waypoint after mission completion. Then users can then
control the aircraft directly.
Return to Home: If the aircraft altitude is higher than this pre-set value, it will return to home at its
mission completion altitude. If the aircraft altitude is lower than the pre-set value it will ascend to the
RTH altitude after mission completion before returning to home. The RTH altitude can be set in Flight
Controller Settings.
Land: The aircraft will land at the final waypoint and stop motors automatically after mission
completion.
Make sure that the end point of the flight path is suitable for landing when finishing action is
set to “Land” to avoid potential flight accidents.
5. GSD
Ground Sample Distance. This value is the actual ground distance represented by each pixel
in the original image captured, and is automatically calculated by DJI Terra based on the flying
altitude and camera model.
6. Mission Altitude
The relative altitude between the aircraft and the area being mapped.
For Oblique missions, “Speed (Nadir View)” refers to the speed at which the aircraft is flying
along the nadir view flight path. “Speed (Oblique)” refers to the speed at which the aircraft is
flying along the oblique flight paths.
8. Max Speed
DJI Terra will calculate a maximum flight speed at which images meeting mapping requirements
can be captured according to the altitude, camera model, and advanced settings. Click “Set” to
set the flight speed to this max speed.
For Oblique missions, if required, users can adjust the location of the start point for each
flight route after planning the routes. Click the start point or end point to switch the two.

For Oblique missions, “Forward Overlap Ratio” refers to the overlap ratio for the nadir view flight
path, and “Forward Overlap Ratio (Oblique)” refers to the overlap ratio for the oblique flight
paths.
3. Course Angle
The angle of the main path. North is 0°, with a positive value when it is clockwise. The range can
be set from 1° to 360°.
4. Margin
Expand (positive value) or narrow (negative value) the area margin for control over the area of
flight. The range can be set from -30 to +30m.
Users can adjust the overlap ratios, altitude, and gimbal pitch angle (for Oblique mission
only) according to actual situations. Reduce overlap ratio accordingly for areas with less
terrain fluctuations. Increase overlap ratio accordingly for areas with more terrain fluctuations.
However, it is recommended to set a side overlap ratio of no less than 60% and a forward
overlap ratio of no less than 65%. For objects that require highly detailed results, create
multiple missions to cover more perspectives of the desired area or object.

set up Cluster version. https://www.dji.com/downloads/products/dji-terra
Usage
Control device: the device running DJI Terra Cluster. In the control device, users can
configure cluster reconstruction settings, select worker devices, and view the status of
reconstruction missions.
Worker devices: the devices in the local network that can be assigned by the control
device to reconstruction missions.
Reconstruction Settings
Users can set the default computation method to Standalone Computation or Cluster Computation.
The default computation method applies to aerotriangulation/2D maps/3D models for New Visible
Light Reconstruction Mission. Users need to have cluster permission to enable Cluster Computation.
Make sure the path type of the imported data and the output file is the same, which is
either a drive path or network path.
When using a drive path as the output file directory of cluster reconstruction, the drive
letter of the network location mapped in the worker devices must be same as the drive
letter mapped in the control device.
Worker devices that exceed the max allowed number by the license will not be
automatically added by DJI Terra after they are enabled.
When an error occurs on a worker device during the reconstruction process, DJI Terra
will use an available worker device from the Other Worker Devices list to replace the error
worker device.
When there are multiple control devices, different control devices can use the same batch
of worker devices. If a control device starts reconstruction first, the control device can
occupy and use the worker devices first. When worker devices for a control device are
occupied by another control device, these worker devices will be moved to the Other
Worker Devices list and cannot be used by the current control device. Worker devices
can be used again when their statuses are changed to Available.
The upper section of the page displays the queue of reconstruction missions. Users can view the
name, reconstruction type, and status of each mission. The mission can be stopped or canceled in
the Operation section. Click and drag to re-order the missions.
