Open‑Source Drone Mapping for ...


#WebODM has officially split from #OpenDroneMap.
Official announcement from WebODM https://webodm.org/blog/announcement/
I made a short video showing the full workflow:
💻 Install WebODM with the new native installers
📸 import drone images
⚙️ process (orthomosaic, DSM, point cloud, 3D model)
🖼️ view in 2D/3D
⬇️ download results
🗺️ open in QGIS
If you want a user‑friendly, #opensource alternative to proprietary photogrammetry tools, WebODM is highly recommended.

Open‑Source Drone Mapping for Everyone: WebODM’s New Chapter

Does anyone have any experience using a #DJIMini4Pro (or similar) to create aerial imagery?
I’m interested in creating aerial imagery and contributing it to #OpenAerialMap for use by #OpenStreetMap contributors.
How much flight time and disk space does it take to create imagery for (say) a 500m² area? And what kind of quality can I expect?
Also, will I need any proprietary/restrictively-licensed software for it, or is #OpenDroneMap and other freedom-respecting (“open source”) software enough?
