This is an interesting application for ODM that is close to my heart: using it to process historical imagery into elevation models for geomorphological mapping: http://community.opendronemap.org/t/minimum-number-of-overlapping-images-for-point-cloud-generation/514/6 Continue reading OpenDroneMap for non-drone applications
This one is short, merely a belated link to Frederick Mbuya’s much more detailed UhuruLabs blog post on the same trip: http://uhurulabs.org/2018/02/16/opendronemap-and-uhurulabs-do-kerela/ Continue reading OpenDroneMap and Uhuru Labs in Kerala, India — another post
I was on my way to Rwanda to do some more work with Karisoke Research Institute on Gorillas, help close out some research worked on by University of Rwanda botany student Tuyizere Jean de Deiu on how land use and land cover have changed between 1995 and present. More on that project in a later post. In the meantime, while passing through Europe, I took … Continue reading Apis helvetica var. Jacques
The State of Kerala, India has the International Centre for Free and Open Source Software (ICFOSS) an autonomous institution “mandated with the objectives of co-ordinating FOSS initiatives within Kerala, as well as linking up with FOSS initiatives in other parts of the world in order to push the agenda of promoting democratic access to information and knowledge through equitable models of production and distribution of … Continue reading OpenDroneMap and Uhuru Labs in Kerala, India
I finally got PDAL properly compiled with Point Cloud Library (PCL) baked in. Word to the wise — CLANG is what the makers are using to compile. The PDAL crew were kind enough to revert the commit which broke GCC support, but why swim upstream? If you are compiling PDAL yourself, use CLANG. (Side note, […]

Just saw this great blog post by my friend Mr. Yu at Korea National Park on using OpenDroneMap. If you need it in English, google seems to translate it rather well: Maybe it’s time to look at localization for WebODM… . Continue reading Time for localization?

This is a post about OpenDroneMap, an opensource project I am a maintainer for. ODM is a toolchain for post-processing drone imagery to create 3D and mapping products. It’s currently in beta and under pretty heavy development. If you’re interested in contributing to the project head over here. The Problem So for most of the […] via Viewing Sparse Point Clouds from OpenDroneMap — GeoKota Continue reading Viewing Sparse Point Clouds from OpenDroneMap — GeoKota
