Tutorial / Startup doc for using OpenDroneMap

OpenDroneMap

Easy to use computer vision software for civilian drones and more.

Download and install VirtualBox, Vagrant, and MeshLab

If you are a Windows user, please also install GitHub for windows:

If a Mac user, install GitHub for Mac:

Now clone the Vagrant machine repository, and start up:

git clone https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/odm.git
cd odm
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

(for Windows users-- run this in your Git Shell)

Now, we clone the program itself.

cd
git clone https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/BundlerTools.git

This will take a while-- it's a 500MB repo...

cd ~/BundlerTools
./install.sh

Let's run a test dataset.

cd ~/BundlerTools/src/bundler/examples/kermit
~/BundlerTools/./run.pl

Go get a cup of coffee.

Once complete, we should have some extra directories created. Since we specified no parameters, we get the following by default:

reconstruction-with-image-size-1200
reconstruction-with-image-size-1200-results

To view, we open MeshLab on our host machine. We'll need to copy these to a location available to our host machine:

cp ~/BundlerTools/src/bundler/examples/kermit/reconstruction-with-image-size-1200-results/option-0000.ply /vagrant/.

These will be in our original odm directory, e.g.

c:\Users\yourusername\Documents\GitHub\odm\option-0000.ply

Open MeshLab, choose File:Import Mesh and navigate to the directory and choose option-0000.ply

To halt vm:

exit
vagrant halt
