[OpenDroneMap-users] ODM questions

[Dakota Benjamin]

Here's some answers.


1) This is untested. It depends on the machine's specs. If errors occur from a large set of images, you can always scale them down.

2) Again, this depends on the photos and the size of the photos. I run tests on a virtual machine with 9 cores and 12 GB RAM, and runtimes can vary from ~15 minutes for ~100 photos at 1200px to ~15 hours for ~600 photos at 2400px.

3) There are usually some artifacts in the orthos, usually found around trees, treelines, and buildings.

4)[https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f861be72953bf5302be69239cc71bbff83310bbe/68747470733a2f2f736d61746865726d61746865722e66696c65732e776f726470726573732e636f6d2f323031352f30312f6f70656e73666d2d6f646d2e706e67]

This is more or less how the first half of the process works, followed by meshing, texturing, and georeferencing/orthophoto.

5) The software is intended to be an open source photo processing toolchain for aerial photographs. It has many applications, including in agriculture, surveying, disaster response, etc.

Howdy,

few questions:

1) maximum # of images used for reconstruction ?
2) Time for reconstruction ?
3) Additional anomalies noted in orthos ?
4) Processing steps (import photos, align photos, etc) ?
5) What was the software's intended use ?  can be used for a disaster  ?

cheers,
Joshua
