Share Project on Disk and HTML Web

OpenDroneMap Desktop
1

I am a newbie and very, very light user of WebODM. I am also quite impressed by what it does, the interface, etc. (macos in docker; all local.)

  • I got my first 3D Map rendered and can call it back up in the Dashboard. I believe the correct way to save everything is to go to the layers button on the top right, and save it as a GeoTif . This can then be imported into a new project. Is this file everything, so I can carry it to a new computer? and/or is there a “pointcloud” file, or should I think of the geotif as exactly that?

  • Is there a way to export a view to jpeg or pdf for printing?

  • I would also like to share my 3D map on the web on a hosted html page for visualization purposes. Is the right way to do this to create and record an animation as an .mp4 file? A similar question (Showcasing a 3D Model to a client) suggested not a video of but the map itself into an interactive viewer, perhaps using WebGL, that web browsers can interact with? This one recommended sketchfab or 3dviewer.net. Alas, 3dviewer.net doesn’t take geotif files.

  • is there a recommended easy way to create a (property line) polygon for display on the map? I have the GPS coordinates of my five corners. presumably, it’s ground-based, so not a volumetric thing.

pointers appreciated.

regards, /iaw

  1. You would want to use the Export All function under the Task when it is expanded. A GeoTIFF is a geospatial data format for displaying raster data, or what most folks would consider an image. A pointcloud is completely different.

  2. You can use the View Map function and then Export the view from there. You can also use QGIS for more advanced layouts and compositing.

  3. You might want to check out DroneDB.app (an OpenDroneMap Ecosystem partner/maintainer/developer), or something like qgis2threejs plugin for QGIS.

  4. Again, this is probably best as a task for QGIS.

For sharing maps and laying simple polygons and other marks “the easy way” you can try this

We develop this service for own use and so far whoever else might find it useful.
Also handy for easy sharing maps with people who has little to none GIS software experience and time to figure things out.

About the third question for “flat” maps if you aim to embed them in a self hosted html page should maybe be worth using a multi resolution web-viewer.
Maybe it’s too much, but for the trust I have for the VCG I would give a try to WebRTIViewer at
https://vcg.isti.cnr.it/rti/webviewer.php
it should have the possibility as stated to present even standard images (JPEG, PNG and TIF) but there are surely many other similar tools.
For the 3d model how to forget the 3d multiresolution framework 3dhop https://3dhop.net/ for interactive web presentations of high-resolution 3D models
