Cool datasets to show on new OpenDroneMap.org

Hi All,

Working on an updated OpenDroneMap website and I want to showcase datasets from you all there. I don’t really want to structure a contest or anything complicated. I’d like to build it as follows:

  • You submit a dataset you would be happy to see on the website
  • Screenshots welcome of point clouds, textured meshes
  • But: I’d also like either an export of the processed data or a link to the data hosted otherwise on the web in case it needs re-framed or otherwise modified to fit into the website
  • In submitting it, you agree to license it to OpenDroneMap under a Creative Commons CC-by 4.0

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!

To give a little flavor for what these might look like in context:

(with a small test to find the typos… oops)

And just to give a little clarity on process (as I had a good question on LinkedIn about how to submit):

To submit, reply here with a screenshot and link to your data (a cloud sharing link of your processed data works great). If the data are sensitive and you can only share a screenshot, then make it a great screenshot and we’ll try to work it in.

This is a great idea, I think I have allzip files if needed :-), without mentioning it, it's fine with me just as much, it's for participating.

I can give you (and whomever else at ODM) a link to my QGIS files, but I’d rather not post a public link. Here are some screenshots from QGIS.

What’s your name on LinkedIn?

These are fantastic! What great examples of elevation change mapping!

I will reach out to (Dutch) organisations who use WebODM.

Hope to give you some feedback soon.

Unfortunately I’m not allowed to share the source images / results.

Hopefully you can work with these images / screenshots.

Oh, these are fantastic too. Will pass on to the web team. Thank you.

Edit: also — Dutch shore infrastructure is so mind-blowing in scale and design.

That will be fantastic. Thanks!

A first reply with a pretty specific use-case. In the Netherlands organisations need to have a permit for storing (large) depots of ground. In a permit a maximum height is defined, for example 10m above a specific reference point. This maximum height can be monitored with drone in combination with WebODM.

That’s easily one of the cooler diagrams I’ve seen derived from drone data.

I can probably release the processing files to CC for one of the datasets here: Kandiyohi County Landfill - #3 by kclandfill

That would be fantastic. Thanks!

Did you have something you wanted to share @Laurent?

Some additional /related conversation here:

Can you talk a bit more about how the data are getting used in this context?
