OpenDroneMap (opendronemap.org)
Installation:
The easiest way to get ODM up and running is to install through a Docker image (Instructions).
Video showing how to spin up an Amazon AWS & ODM (here)
My ODM install:
- Ubuntu 16.04 Server
- Cinnamon desktop environment
- Run ODM through docker
Example ODM submission (executed from image directory):
docker run -it --user root -v $(pwd)/images:/code/images -v $(pwd)/pmvs:/code/pmvs -v $(pwd)/odm_orthophoto:/code/odm_orthophoto --rm odm_image --orthophoto-resolution 40
ODM Runtime parameters (here)
ODM Outputs:
- GeoTIFF
- 3D Model – output in PLY format; LAStool can convert to LAS
WebODM: Web-based GUI for OpenDroneMap
Potential opensource workflow:
- OpenDroneMap to process the imagery or VisualSFM/Meshlab
- QGIS to process the ODM output
- Install opensource GIS stack (including QGIS and GRASS) with OSGeo4W
