Open Drone Map

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the official OpenDroneMap documentation.

Using WebODM Interface To simplify the process, we will use the WebODM interface, which provides a user-friendly way to interact with ODM. You can access the WebODM instance at the following address (only accessible when on campus): http://132.181.102.65:8000.

Processing Data

1. Open WebODM in your web browser.
2. Create a new project and upload your images.
3. Configure processing options (e.g., resolution, output formats) and start the processing.

Generating Outputs

1. Once processing is complete, you can generate various outputs such as orthophotos, 3D models, and point clouds.
2. Download the outputs for further analysis or use in other applications.

Using Ground Control Points (GCPs)

1. Collect GCPs during your drone flight using a GPS device.
2. Import the GCPs into WebODM and align them with your images to improve accuracy.

Customizing Processing Parameters

1. Adjust processing parameters such as image resolution, mesh quality, and texture size to optimize results.
2. Experiment with different settings to find the best configuration for your specific project.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. Low-Quality Outputs: Ensure sufficient image overlap and proper camera settings.
2. Processing Errors: Check for missing or corrupted images and ensure your system meets the hardware requirements.
3. Slow Processing: Use a computer with a more powerful CPU/GPU or reduce the resolution of your images.
