Overview
ODM, from OpenDroneMap, is an open source command line toolkit for processing aerial imagery from drones, balloons or kites. It turns ordinary 2D photos into classified point clouds, textured 3D models, georeferenced orthophotos and georeferenced digital elevation models. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, and the easiest way to start is through Docker. Because it works from the command line, it suits scripts and integration with other software.
Key features
- Classified point clouds from aerial photos
- Textured 3D models
- Georeferenced orthorectified imagery
- Georeferenced digital elevation models
- Runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, easiest via Docker
Best for
Surveyors, mappers and developers who process drone photos in scripts or pipelines. People who prefer a graphical interface can use OpenDroneMap Desktop. The license is AGPL-3.0.
