Thanks for posting. The potential for this is huge. I was watching a tutorial for a commercial product recently, they spent a lot of time talking about camera setup for accuracy. That product required a lot of manual intervention to stitch photos together for the 3d model. As others have commented. A cloud service for pilots to upload photos to is a likely service that pilots will want.
Pretty cool Dennis. The other day I was at a UAV dealer in Liberty Hill Texas and there was someone that had a delta wing. They set some way-points and it flew autonomously while taking pics. The images would be stitched together later.
DScroggins Production You weren't too far from me! If you happen to see the results of that flight let us know. I'd love to see them. Hope all is well.
Wow, I must try this thing as soon as possible. I was almost convinced to buy license for Photoscan, but found out this can be a great substitute since DSM&DTM and orthophoto is all I need. I actually know nothing about coding and programming, but this is legit! Thanks.
+Don Kim Thanks for the feedback. The good news is you don't need to know much about coding or programming to use ODM. As long as you feel comfortable at the command line then you should be able to get it to work. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
+Dennis Baldwin I runned this with your example phothos but the results (orthophoto and DEM derived by CSV) doesn't seem good enough yet... Gonna try with some other example UAV photos another day. However this is truly amazing project for sure and totally agree that it has great possibilities.
Those are fantastic results. Pix4d could be forced to make their products more affordable or crack the mold all over again. It may be too early for that statement but it really makes it hard to justify paying $7700us for pix4d for my company when Steven and his team have created an open source program that processes your images with that level of quality. Thanks Dennis Keith
Keith Rolston I agree with you. I'm anxious to see what the orthophoto branch of OpenDroneMap does. I'll be experimenting this week and will hopefully get worthwhile results that I can share.
It would be great if they created some type of volumetrics or contoured survey system that you could hammer in some pins to get the accuracy with in a centimetre. I'm way ahead of myself again but the possibilities are very exciting. It would be nice to find out the accuracy of this software.
Just wondering since this video is so old. If it took 7 hours to process 90 photos before, how much time would the program take to process the same batch of photos as of now?
Excellent Dennis! Adding this vid to the live cast Monday. I have a Cannon with SHDK which is just collecting dust till the next HAB launch- maybe it would be perfect strapped to the EPP FPV :) Cheers
Eric William Sounds great. If you have any questions I'll be glad to answer them. Feel free to email me directly at db at unmannedairlines dot com. Thanks for the feedback.
Dennis I am not a computer genius so should I pay for the installer for webodm so I can start using this. I see this video was done in 2015. Let me know how this is today vs 2015. Thanks
I've just pulled the texture orthophoto branch. Whilst the master branch runs on pretty much any Ubuntu variant, the orthophoto branch needs 12.04 to run. I'm just running through some test data now.
Mark Williams Any ideas what dependencies there are for 12.04? I ask because I have a job in progress right now with the orthophoto branch on 14.04. It's running just fine. Right now I'm waiting for the bundler process to finish. This is one of those processes that unfortunately can only be run on 1 core so it takes a loooooong time.
Excellent video and job!! I´d like to know if Open Drone Map could help me to get NDVI images or what is the alterntive solution!! thank in advance for your excellent attention.
gustavo yescas You'll need to get NDVI images out of whatever sensor you're using and then process them using a tool such as Photoscan or Pix4D. I haven't tested this with ODM yet but will plan on doing so and share my results. Good luck with your project.
As I am watching and listening, it occurred to me that every business, hobby, interest I have as I became older requires massive processing power. I guess because I started in computer graphic manipulation way back when with CorelDraw and the earliest versions of Adobe software that I have some risk aversion to waiting for pictures to feckin render! I think I should have built the stinking computing hardware before building my multirotors, ROFL!
***** No lie! The rendering process is always the bottleneck. The cool thing about this project is it does use the GNU parallel (www.gnu.org/software/parallel/) tool to allow the work to be done in parallel....and it could eventually be passed off to multiple computers to process. But I believe there is still some of the work that needs to be done serially. I'm new to the project but will share as much as I learn. Hope all is well.
Jeroen Brosens "Point Clouds" as a service and "Aerial Mapping" as a service? Did I guess right? I totally agree with you. If you have any imagery that you'd like to run though it let me know and I'll be happy to do it. My personal email is db at unmannedairlines dot com. Hope all is well and Happy New Year!
Yes Dennis Baldwin you got them right! I love seeing the unstoppable innovations happening around aerial technology - by us, normal consumers. Every time I see your vids I want to do some mapping as well, but I am too busy with all kinds of things. Too much fun, too little time! All the best to you too!
That's brilliant. I finally have my cx-20 and will be playing with this soon. Do you need a GPS enabled camera to get usable images? or can this be done by the APM?
+George Corea You can do this without a GPS enabled camera as long as you geotag them somehow. I talk about it some here: czcams.com/video/ok9bpmUuQnM/video.html Thanks and good luck.
Awesome! What do you need to get started? I've been flying a DJI phantom 2 with gorpro 4 for about a year now. The imagery is stunning but it seems like there are some limitations when it comes to creating georeferenced imagery or orthos. So any help on gear needed such as drone, camera, etc, will help a lot. thanks.
I know you can do this with a Phantom 3 but not sure about a Phantom 2 since the DJI SDK isn't supported. I've been using Maps Made Easy to take the photos with my P3 and then using 3rd party software such as OpenDroneMap to stitch. MapsMadeEasy has a cloud service that will stitch, but it costs a little. Good luck and let us know where you end up.
Things are much faster now. We're also working on a web interface, a public API and mission planner. See github.com/pierotofy/node-OpenDroneMap and github.com/OpenDroneMap/WebODM
Piero, I've been following the gitter channels and it looks like the team is up to some great stuff. Looking forward to WebODM as I think that will open ODM up to a whole new group of users. I'll do a video soon that covers some of the updates. Thanks.
Hey Dennis, Thanks for doing this work already I am super excited to start using it, just a question for you, does it right now or do you plan on OpenDroneMap supporting measurements on the orthomosaics. Say for estimating volumes of material piles in quarries and stuff? Thanks!
Hummingbird Drones ODM does not support measurement capabilities, but I don't see why it wouldn't in the future. Just FYI I'm just a contributor to the project and not the main author. I'm getting involved because I think it has a lot of potential. Thanks for following along.
Dennis this is awesome! Thanks for being an available resource. Hey what VM software are you using? I'm going to be testing this on my Mac as well. Thanks!
Oscar Avellaneda-Cruz I'm actually running this on Amazon's EC2 cloud. I figured that would be easier than getting it running on my Mac. I may try to get it running locally on my Mac soon and will let you know if I figure it out. Please do the same if you get it running. Thanks.
Dennis Baldwin I opted for wiping the windows7 SSD in my mac pro tower and installing Ubuntu. Pretty painless. I think it would be harder though if you tried doing this as a partition on a single drive. Out of curiosity, how many instances and what cpu & ram combo did you deploy for the 7 hrs of processing? I ask because my mapping platform is a Canon S100 and my workstation is a 6 core with 32gb ram. If it weren't for our dog slow expensive upload speeds here in Alaska I'd probably go EC2 as well.
Oscar Avellaneda-Cruz I did a test on my my machine processing your images from this video. It took 2h 41min. The most ram intensive part happens early on and used 21GB . I processed the non-geo tagged set. Later I ran into difficulty installing the the ortho texturing flavor of the project. It seems like it hung up on intsalling all its necessary modules. I'm gonna email Steven my log details. Have you had similar issues?
Hi Dennis. Great video. I'm making some research on this tool to start using it. However and since this video y quite old now, can you tell me if this project has still support? Is the processing faster now? I'm going to use it in Linux Mint. Thanks!
steve USMC page No worries you'll be a pro in no time. Feel free to ask questions if you ever decide to mess with this. Hope all is well and Happy New Year!
Love it Dennis. Do you have any instructions for loading the projects into Meshlabs or QSID as I can't seem to find any up to date instructions... I have finally got ODM and WebODM to work thanks to your instructions and those on GitHub. I tried it on 3 different Ubuntu builds machines and in the end i got it to work on a low powered i3 2.5gHz 4 core with only 4 Gig RAM (although I did mount a USB3 64Gb swap file as well just in case :) ). It would be so cool if you could extract the ODM Web webpage output (view 2D and 3D map functionality) into a web page as that functionality is awesome!
+Kanu Canoe That's correct. You may need to change the projection based on what projection your software is using, but I've been able to load my orthos into QGIS with no problems.
Nikoli Yap You can actually force the focal length and ccd size using --force-focal and --force-ccd. You'll have to research those values for your specific setup though.
Yes, I've used it with the P4. There was a bit of distortion with my P4 and unfortunately I haven't had time to revisit. I hope to do that in the near future. Here is a bit of the history if you're interested: github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/issues/350
Hi!!!! I'm planning to use OpenDroneMap for Agriculture pilot project. How can i get Orthomosaics GeoTIFF images and how to get NDVI images. Please help..
ODM has a great group and gitter channel for these types of questions. ODM is still early stage so geotiff is possible but i don't think NDVI is ready for primetime yet.

+Luca Salvoni Unfortunately ODM doesn't run on Windows yet. You could run it in a docker container though: github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/blob/gh-pages/Dockerfile So you'd have a Linux VM running ODM on Windows. Not sure what performance would be like but may be worth a shot.
+gus linx Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated the link and the description and you can find them here: www.dropbox.com/sh/py9ir4b9dv01041/AABoBIOJrOtFT0QGs24sZOWka?dl=0 Hope it helps.
Google+ sucks balls!!!! All good :) There are so many things over my head and I just wanted to share my findings. If you have any interest in getting some imagery processed feel free to let me know. I'll be happy to run it through OpenDroneMap or Photoscan Pro so you can see the results. My email is db at unmannedairlines dot com if you want to get in touch. Take care.
This is for people who don't need it. Way to fast and too small to follow if you don't know how to use it already....common mistake on "tutorials". Please, if you are going to take the time to do it... take the time to do it!
hello, you could make a video step by step of the process for windows using a Linux virtual machine >> github.com/OpenDroneMap/odm_vagrant/blob/master/README.md I'm dummie and my English is poor, so would find great Video step by step, I thank you !! and congratulations

Nice video! I Surely support this project, we need an Open Source alternative. You already generated a ortomosaic with ODM?
P. Augusto Yes I've generated several and they've turned out nicely. They're not georeferenced but I know the ODM team is working on that.

I've added some more tests and photos here regarding changing different parameters as well: github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/issues/546
Awesome
tacettin özbölük Thanks. I've really been enjoying what ODM has to offer.
can those photos linked to GIS software such as arcGIS or QGis ? because they are georefrenced right?
+Kanu Canoe That's correct. You may need to change the projection based on what projection your software is using, but I've been able to load my orthos into QGIS with no problems.
Dennis Baldwin Interesting, but how about non georefrenced photos?does the software can georefrence them or manually rectify on arcGIS or Qgis?
can u explain the GCP for this project, especially z coordinate?
Here is a good article on ODM's GCP setup: smathermather.com/2015/02/04/opendronemap-orthophotos-and-gcps/
I am using gopro hero3 images. and It is saying NO CCD or FOCAL LENGTH found for all images when I run the opendronemap
Nikoli Yap It doesn't currently support the GoPro cameras yet, but I know it's on the roadmap. I'll be sure to report when it does support them.
Nikoli Yap You can actually force the focal length and ccd size using --force-focal and --force-ccd. You'll have to research those values for your specific setup though.
Hi Dennis.
Have you used it with Phantom 4? Do you know if there are distortions in the image after processing? thank you. Success
Yes, I've used it with the P4. There was a bit of distortion with my P4 and unfortunately I haven't had time to revisit. I hope to do that in the near future. Here is a bit of the history if you're interested:
github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/issues/350
OK. Thank You!
3:38 there is no ./install.sh file there after cloning from git.
The process has changed. Read the page here and look how you install using "bash configure.sh" github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap Good luck.
Hi!!!! I'm planning to use OpenDroneMap for Agriculture pilot project. How can i get Orthomosaics GeoTIFF images and how to get NDVI images. Please help..
ODM has a great group and gitter channel for these types of questions. ODM is still early stage so geotiff is possible but i don't think NDVI is ready for primetime yet.
Thank you
Good stuff. What size VM are you running this on? I'm testing it on a 64GB 20 core Ubuntu VM right now, seems pretty snappy
And it just completed, 47 minutes from VM creation to job completion. 96 photos in total.
Mark Williams Man you don't play around do you!!! I was running it on an EC2 compute optimized machine with 8 cores.
Mark Williams Okay that's some horsepower :) I've noticed that some of the tasks can only run serially so it doesn't matter how many cores we throw at it. The vlsift process runs in parallel which is good. I see you're over on GitHub now. Cool! Keep me posted on your progress and if you don't mind ping me at db at unmannedairlines dot com so we can chat more about this stuff in the future. Thanks!
hello, how you could install Open Drone Map in OSX?
I would recommend checking out Docker. That's what I use for ODM on my Mac: github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/wiki/Docker
Hi!!! There are some paper related to how this program works?
This is really all the documentation that's available at the moment: github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/wiki
Do I need a special camara?
Generally a canon camera should work. It would be nice to have something with CHDK so you can sync your GPS with when the photo was taken. If not, you can do this in post. This may help:
czcams.com/video/ok9bpmUuQnM/video.html
will this wok with any drone video captures?
Doesn't work with video. Just photos. But if there is EXIF GPS data as well as good overlap (50-60%) it should work just fine. I've used it successfully with my Canon SX260
Great
Hi Dennis, is there a tutorial for windows installation?
Thanks,
Luca
+Luca Salvoni Unfortunately ODM doesn't run on Windows yet. You could run it in a docker container though: github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/blob/gh-pages/Dockerfile So you'd have a Linux VM running ODM on Windows. Not sure what performance would be like but may be worth a shot.
Ok thanks! I'll try it.
good jop dennis!!! avesome
Selcuk Fırat Thanks. Glad you found it useful.
which airborne platform was used for this?
+rajjad Tarot 680 pro hexacopter. It was about 15-20 acres so perfect size for this small mission.
For a project of more than 1200 photos is not useful to me ODM, they know something more powerful similar to PIX4D
I hear you. It's hard to process this many photos in ODM, but hopefully over time we will be able to.
hey buddy dropbox is gone, could you post a link

any chance this'll work under Linux Mint?
