WebODM is open-source drone mapping software that processes imagery into mapping outputs.
OpenDroneMap
OpenDroneMap processes drone imagery to generate maps, point clouds, and 3D models.
About OpenDroneMap
OpenDroneMap is a set of drone mapping software tools that process images captured by drones, balloons or kites. According to the homepage, the software generates maps, point clouds, 3D models and digital elevation models (DEMs) from images in any orientation and from any camera. The homepage describes the tools as open source and presents the project as a collection of related components rather than a single application.
The project offers several components for different workflows. ODM is a command line toolkit for processing aerial images, NodeODM provides a REST API and a minimal web interface, and PyODM is a Python SDK for adding image processing to applications. CloudODM processes aerial imagery in the cloud. The homepage does not describe how uploaded imagery is stored or handled by cloud processing, so users should review the relevant service terms before processing sensitive data. Pricing is not stated on the homepage.
