Video: https://cloudodm.stellaris.cl/learn/web-demo-en.mp4 — The demonstration, in the viewer your results open in: Autzen's classified point cloud, the Standard and Advanced tiers compared, then the surface model, the terrain model and the orthophoto.

## What you get

Upload drone photographs and the platform reconstructs the site: an orthophoto, a surface model, a terrain model, a point cloud and a textured 3D model. Upload a LiDAR point cloud instead and it goes straight to classification — ground, vegetation, buildings and more — and the same terrain products.

Everything comes back in open formats (GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ, COPC, GLB, DXF), so it opens in QGIS, AutoCAD and every survey tool, and in the desktop viewer.

## The four steps

1. Look at a finished survey in the Demonstration — nothing to buy, nothing to upload.
2. Price your own flight: in Storage, choose the images on your computer. They are checked in your browser and you get the run's price, time and result size before anything is uploaded or charged.
3. Adding funds is optional: the first space for a set is free when it costs under US$1, and a run is paid for on its own, before you start it. Add funds in Billing only to pay in advance.
4. Compose the run in Tasks, start it, and collect the results in Results.

## What it costs

A fixed price per photograph — Basic from US$0.01, Premium from US$0.05 — or per million points for LiDAR, shown before you start and charged when the run completes — that figure, to the cent. A run that fails costs nothing. Two Basic runs of up to 300 photographs are free each month. Cancelling costs nothing until the run is actually processing.

The storage for your images is bought by size and term before uploading; keeping a run's results is already in the run's quote.
