OpenDroneMap (ODM) is a suite of open-source tools for processing aerial imagery, primarily from drones, to generate various geospatial products.
Key features include:
- Orthomosaics: Creation of high-resolution, georeferenced orthorectified images.
- Point Clouds: Generation of dense 3D point clouds.
- 3D Models: Production of textured 3D models.
- Digital Elevation Models (DEMs): Creation of DEMs and Digital Surface Models (DSMs).
- Command-Line Interface (CLI): Core functionality accessible via a command-line toolkit (ODM).
- Web Interface: User-friendly web interface (WebODM) for processing, visualization, and analysis.
- API: REST API (NodeODM) for integration with other applications.
- Python SDK: (PyODM) for adding aerial image processing capabilities to applications.
Use cases:
- Surveying and Mapping: Generating accurate maps for surveying, construction, and infrastructure management.
- Agriculture: Analyzing crop health and monitoring field conditions.
- Environmental Monitoring: Assessing environmental changes and monitoring natural resources.
- Disaster Response: Creating rapid damage assessments after natural disasters.
- 3D Modeling: Generating 3D models for visualization and analysis in various industries.
