Questions and answers about common geospatial issues.
MS-Image Composite Editor (64 bit)
Image Composite Editor (ICE) is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. Given a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location, the app creates a seamless high-resolution panorama. ICE can also create a panorama from a panning video, including stop-motion action overlaid on the background. Finished panoramas can be shared and viewed in 3D on the Photosynth web site, or saved in a variety of image formats.
The most straightforward method of post processing aerial photographs is to stitch them together using commercially available software, such as Kolor AutoPano Giga, PIX4D, Agisoft PhotoScan and others. The resultant mosaic is essentially a near real-time land-use and land-cover map that could be used for monitoring land-use change. Most of these software packages are very easy to use, and some of them can produce not only ortho-rectified 2D photo-mosaics but also 3D Digital Surface Models. However, they can cost between several hundreds to over ten thousand dollars. Microsoft offers a free Image Composite Editor that could be used for a quick-and-dirty stitching job. However, it does not ortho-rectify the resultant product, nor does it create 3D models.
MapKnitter – Make maps from aerial photos
Learn to turn aerial images into maps with the Public laboratory’s open source MapKnitter.org tool. Upload an image, rotate, distort and stretch it onto a reference map, and use the transparency and outline modes to check how close the fit is. Then export to GeoTiff or OpenLayers/TMS.
Flight Riot strives to create a community that advocates the use of drones in conjunction with geospatial technology for remote sensing and mapping applications. We place an emphasis on open source technologies with a ‘do it yourself’ spirit. We encourage exploration and discussion of technology, drone platforms, mapping cameras, and specific remote sensing applications such as vegetation management, agricultural and land analysis, as well as terrain mapping and surveying.
DronePan makes it easy to capture aerial panoramas with a click of a button with your DJI Phantom 3, Phantom 4, Inspire 1, Inspire 2 or Mavic Pro drone. Right now DronePan runs on iOS devices and an Android version is currently in beta. You can learn more by joining the DronePan Facebook group. Check out the screenshots below and here are some samples of panoramas created by our users: Gross Dam, Port Aransas Skatepark, Ironman in Colorado, Real Estate Property.

OpenDroneMap
OpenDroneMap is a tool to postprocess drone, balloon, kite, and street view data to geographic data including orthophotos, point clouds, & textured mesh. In the tradition of the Ship of Theseus, it was originally forked from qwesda/BundlerTools https://github.com/qwesda/BundlerTools.
