INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The headline feature is native support for 3D?Gaussian Splatting, a next?generation rendering technique that turns standard photographs into
richly detailed, life?like digital twins in a fraction of the time required by traditional photogrammetry
The new release also debuts an overhauled interface, fresh export options, upgraded hardware support, and a friendlier licensing model,
This approach excels at representing fine edges, reflective or transparent materials, intricate vegetation, and other scenes that stump
classic mesh?plus?texture pipelines
DJI says the method produces distortion?free orthomosaics in addition to 3D models, giving surveyors clean 2D and 3D outputs from a single
workflow.In DJI Terra, splat processing runs on?device (it is not a cloud service) and supports both 2D and 3D deliverables

common settings, cutting setup time for novice users while still letting power users dive deep
DJI has also rationalized its SKUs:Standard, the baseline edition, free upgrade for legacy Survey/Pro licenseesFlagship, adds Gaussian
Splatting and ships as a no?cost upgrade for Electricity?edition customers; Cluster users inherit all Flagship features automaticallyHolders
of permanent Terra 5.0 keys can move to the latest build without paying a maintenance fee.New capture sources and export pipelinesBeyond
elevation system joins the list of supported coordinate frameworks.Collectively, these changes make it easier to push Terra data downstream
cards.Model visual clarity has been sharpened, and the GCP (ground?control?point) page opens more quickly.Users can switch the output
coordinate system from the task?page footer without restarting a project (visible?light aerotriangulation excepted).Gaussian Splatting

version?5.0.1, resolving a bug that prevented offline (air?gapped) licenses from upgrading during the free?iteration window
straight into practical field tools
For survey and inspection teams already flying Matrice?series drone platforms, Gaussian Splatting promises faster processing, sharper edges,
Architectural visualizers gain a one?click route to FBX meshes; city planners can sling 3DTiles straight into Cesium for web?based
stakeholder demos; and agricultural consultants see more reliable ML classifications
Throw in leaner point?cloud storage, better coordinate?system handling, and complimentary license upgrades, and Terra 5.0 feels less like an
