OpenDroneMap processes drone imagery to generate maps, point clouds, and 3D models.
WebODM
WebODM is open-source drone mapping software that processes imagery into mapping outputs.
About WebODM
WebODM is drone mapping software that processes aerial photos or videos into georeferenced outputs. These include orthomosaics, point clouds, digital elevation models, textured 3D models and gaussian splats. The homepage states that it runs on the user's own computer, even offline. Outputs can be measured, annotated and exported to GIS or CAD software.
The software also includes plant health indexes such as NDVI and VARI, volume and area measurements, and ground control points for added accuracy. The homepage notes that WebODM has decoupled from OpenDroneMap. It also describes ODX, a separate photogrammetry engine that power users and developers can run from the command line or integrate into their own scripts. The homepage does not state hardware requirements, pricing details or the output accuracy of any specific dataset.
