OpenDroneMap ODM is a command-line photogrammetry toolkit for converting aerial imagery into geospatial and 3D products. It can process photographs captured by drones, balloons, kites, and other aerial platforms. Outputs include classified point clouds, textured 3D models, georeferenced orthophotos, and digital elevation models. The processing pipeline integrates specialized open-source projects for reconstruction, meshing, geospatial conversion, and point-cloud processing. ODM runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and is commonly deployed through Docker. GPU acceleration is available for selected feature-extraction workloads. NodeODM can expose the processing engine over a network for integration with other applications.
