The first project that we're funding through the Headwaters Project will upgrade OpenMVS with an improved texturing method, replacing MVS-Texturing. It's a win-win-win: upstream support for a core dependency, improved algorithms in that library, and reduced memory bottlenecks in OpenDroneMap.

As we build out the new website, our designer added a section that will link on to Industry and Application for OpenDroneMap data. What would you put for Industry and Application?

🤔 We’re collecting cool datasets to show on OpenDroneMap.org, but it also might be useful to have a sentence from you on how you use OpenDroneMap and how it has effected you in your industry. How has OpenDroneMap changed / improved / supported what you do in your sector? 🤔

I also wrote a post on this very topic! jakecoppinger.com/2022/12/crea...

Sometimes stuff is just bananas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bma...

Following up on the prior request for cool datasets: whether for posting on the website or just showing off for fun, what cool elevation datasets are folks rocking these days? Anything to show off? We've got some cool things already posted here: community.opendronemap.org/t/cool-datas...

We're working on an updated OpenDroneMap website and we want to showcase datasets from OpenDroneMap enthusiasts there. You’ll be credited on the website, your cool work shown off, and we’ll be able to highlight the cool stuff that OpenDroneMap can do! community.opendronemap.org/t/cool-datas...

Got questions about drones? Questions like “can I legally take down a drone with a flaming arrow, or a trained eagle that’s also on fire?” I answer most of them here! little-flying-robots.ghost.io/i-answer-som...

One thing maybe not discussed enough is the long term opportunity cost of not investing and supporting open source software. Imagine the more and better Blenders, GIMPs, Firefoxs, InkScapes, QGISs etc we would of had (+ could have) if open source was taken more seriously by government and businesses

Continuing the heavy hits on WebODM updates. This list looks short, but it's substantive: OpenDroneMap/WebODM V2.7.1 --- - Geolocation file download - Task thumbnails - Task alignment support

This is wonderful! Leymus mollis is California's native beach grass. Introduced European beach grass that was there makes a very different dune structure. The native grass builds lower slope dunes leaving space for foredune plants while the non-native builds steep slopes & less plant diversity.

OpenDroneMap/WebODM V2.7.0 --- New Feature: - Simultaneous map items display and swipe view Bug fixes: - Fix contours, objdetect plugins - Handle PIL decompression bomb error --- #OpenDroneMap #WebODM #ODMUpdatesBot github.com/OpenDroneMap...

So what's GeoDeep? Just a bit of object detection and segmentation:

We've got some consequential new updates in WebODM, with object detection now built in. This also launches a new utility (GeoDeep). OpenDroneMap/WebODM V2.6.0 github.com/OpenDroneMap...

This one took a while, but finally found the time. Compare layers in WebODM (works also across tasks). github.com/OpenDroneMap... Time to update!

I have been trying to build a 3D model using OpenDroneMap and am looking for guidance how to capture a moving object. I used a Canon D3300 with a constant focal length because my iPhone camera did not work well. #goldens #opendronemap #photogrammetry

Bydliński zamek to wdzięczny obiekt do ćwiczeń z obsługi #OpenDroneMap #WebODM - obsługa wirtualnej taśmy mierniczej to cenna umiejętność. Ilustracji do podręcznika ciąg dalszy ;)

This part 3 of a 3 part series of great tutorials/demonstration showing how much you can do with a drone, a bit of land, and a bunch of free open-source software: QGIS and OpenDroneMap in this case #ODM #GIS #UAV #QGIS www.spatialised.net/mapping-a-sm...

I did kinda call this lol slate.com/technology/2...

#ODM #gis #drone #mapping OpenDroneMap is running great on docker. 196 full sized 50MP photos eats a bit of memory, processing, and uses whatever CPU/GPU you give it. I added another 64 GB RAM to the tower to do larger maps.

<tap><tap> Is thing thing on?
