DJI Terra

DJI Terra v5.0 is an advanced 3D-reconstruction platform that now pairs its trusted photogrammetry engine with next-generation Photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting. Together with tighter LiDAR, multispectral, and cluster-processing workflows, Terra turns DJI drones such as Matrice 4E/400, Mavic 3 E/T, and Zenmuse L2 into a unified data-acquisition and processing solution—delivering survey-grade accuracy on entry-level hardware (≥ 4 GB GPU VRAM, 32 GB RAM).

3D Gaussian Splatting & Mesh Models

New Gaussian Splatting generates photorealistic 3D models that preserve fine detail in reflective, transparent, and vegetated scenes. It processes ≈ 500 photos hr-¹ and completes 30 000-image city-scale jobs twice as fast as the previous mesh pipeline, while automatically producing distortion-free orthomosaics.

2D Maps

Optimised algorithms now meet 1:500 mapping standards without ground-control points when paired with RTK-equipped DJI mapping drones. A 5 000-image dataset processes in under two hours on a single workstation, or 80 minutes via cluster reconstruction, delivering true-digital orthophotos (TDOM) and DSMs on-site.

LiDAR

Terra now fuses Zenmuse L2 point clouds with RGB imagery in a single click, outputting centimeter-level-accurate point clouds, 3D meshes, and 2D maps—even on complex assets such as bridges and substations. Support has been extended to Matrice 4T / 4TD for automated waypoint planning and inspection.

Multispectral

Using data from Mavic 3 Multispectral or Phantom 4 Multispectral, Terra produces NDVI/NDRE vegetation-index maps and—new in v5.0—automatically builds variable-rate Prescription Maps and optimized Agras spray routes for both field and orchard crops, complete with radiometric correction for research-grade reflectance outputs.

Cluster Reconstruction

Scale projects effortlessly with distributed processing: five worker nodes finish a 30 000-photo high-resolution job in just 21 hours,

What are the computer requirements for 2D and 3D reconstruction with DJI Terra?

A Windows 7 or above (64 bits) system and necessary hardware configuration are required when using the DJI Terra.

Standalone computation:
Minimum system requirements: 32G RAM, 4G graphics RAM (the computing power for the NVidia graphics should be shader model 3.0 or better).
Recommended system requirements: 64G RAM or more. NVidia 2070 graphics or higher.
Where configuration requirements are met, every additional 10G of free memory can process additional 4,000 photos. More advanced configurations will enable more photos to be processed and faster reconstruction. Different hardware configurations will have no impact on the model results generated.

Cluster computation:
Refer to the Preparation Before Using DJI Terra for more information on how to configure a device.

Can I still use paid features of DJI Terra without an internet connection?

Yes. For the offline version, once installed, all paid features operate without an internet connection. For the online version, you must have an internet connection to login, however, you can continue to DJI Terra's paid features offline without logging in again for up to 3 days.

Can I unbind devices from DJI Terra licenses? 

Yes, you can unbind your DJI Terra Pro. To unbind, please contact DJI Support. The 1-device licenses can be unbound once in each natural year. 

What features are restricted in the offline version?

The following online features are not available in Offline Mode:
- Unlocking GEO Zones
- Map loading and location searching
- Without logging into a DJI account, some flight control functions in DJI Terra are restricted

Can third party point clouds be imported into DJI Terra?

Yes, LAS point cloud files can be imported. 

Are lifetime updates and upgrades included with a DJI Terra Pro Perpetual (Permanent) license?

What are the minimum hardware requirements for Gaussian Splatting in DJI Terra v5.0?

You need at least 32 GB RAM and a GPU with 4 GB VRAM (e.g., NVIDIA RTX series). These specs let Terra process ≈ 300–400 photos per gigabyte of RAM and handle jobs up to 30 000 photos. [oai_citation:6‡DroneXL.co](https://dronexl.co/2025/07/17/dji-terra-update-photorealistic-3d-gaussian-splatting/)

No, the Upgrade and Maintenance fee per year for Terra Pro Permanent licenses is $440.
