[Geo4All] Open Drone Map

[Helena Mitasova]

Tom,

we have used it in class with students installing it on their laptops - as Alex said it is non-trivial installation so it is better 
to have a machine(s) for students to use where you have it already installed.
Here are the instructions from our course, including a script for adding focal length and GPS to images
(our UX5 system puts them into a log file)

we also cover the processing in AGISOFT

I want to have the students process UAV imagery etc.  Has anyone used Open Drone Map in her or his undergraduate classes?  How easy it to use by students?  Is there any other open source UAV software available, etc.?
