OpenDroneMap

One thing maybe not discussed enough is the long term opportunity cost of not investing and supporting open source software. Imagine the more and better Blenders, GIMPs, Firefoxs, InkScapes, QGISs etc we would of had (+ could have) if open source was taken more seriously by government and businesses

And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the other feature this brings in: you can download the camera locations as a text file now (geo.txt), meaning you can edit it and upload it again in another task with corrections to your camera locations, e.g. adjust your Z to a local datum.

Right?! Didn't know how needed it was until it was right there.

The align interface allows alignment of a dataset with another: think ensuring adjacent datasets align, or multi-temporal datasets need to be well aligned geographically.

Previews allow you to (ahem) preview the project orthophoto without opening it.

Screen shot of WebODM interface with new feature: previews of orthophotos on right hand side. Orthophotos include a gravel pit and a park with houses.

Screenshot showing updated interface with new "Alignment" option, here with a dataset titled "Brighton Beach" highlighted. Map at top with image locations shown as dots, and Name, Processing Node, Options, Alignment, and Resize images in interface below.

Continuing the heavy hits on WebODM updates. This list looks short, but it's substantive:

OpenDroneMap/WebODM
V2.7.1

- Geolocation file download
- Task thumbnails
- Task alignment support

This is wonderful! Leymus mollis is California's native beach grass. Introduced European beach grass that was there makes a very different dune structure. The native grass builds lower slope dunes leaving space for foredune plants while the non-native builds steep slopes & less plant diversity.

GeoDeep - Lightweight AI Object Detection Library edit: now integrated in WebODM! AI Object Detection by pierotofy · Pull Request #1589 · OpenDroneMap/WebODM · GitHub Hey all 👋, as part of Idea: Implement raster vision module/plugin for AI object ...

Introductory thread of GeoDeep here:
community.opendronemap.org/t/geodeep-li...

So what's GeoDeep? Just a bit of object detection and segmentation:

Also, with an update independent of release you get this cool new feature too!

Release 2.6.0 · OpenDroneMap/WebODM What's Changed Update gunicorn to 19.8.0 fixing #1586 by @hauke96 in #1587 AI Object Detection by @pierotofy in #1589 Add point cloud resampling export by @pierotofy in #1590 Add worker max thread...

We've got some consequential new updates in WebODM, with object detection now built in.

This also launches a new utility (GeoDeep).

I have been trying to build a 3D model using OpenDroneMap and am looking for guidance how to capture a moving object. I used a Canon D3300 with a constant focal length because my iPhone camera did not work well. #goldens #opendronemap #photogrammetry

This part 3 of a 3 part series of great tutorials/demonstration showing how much you can do with a drone, a bit of land, and a bunch of free open-source software: QGIS and OpenDroneMap in this case

<tap><tap> Is thing thing on?
