CloudODM
A command line tool to process aerial imagery in the cloud via NodeODM's API.
Getting Started
- Download the application for Windows, Mac or Linux.
- Extract the application in a folder of your choice (for example,
c:\odm
).
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder (open the "Command Prompt" application, then
cd \odm
).
- Run
odm c:\path\to\images --dsm
.
This command will process all the images in the directory c:\path\to\images
and save the results (including an orthophoto, a point cloud, a 3D model and a digital surface model) to c:\odm\output
. You can pass more options for processing by appending them at the end of the command. To see a list of options, simply issue:
odm args
See odm --help
for more options.
Using GCPs
To include a GCP for additional georeferencing accuracy, simply create a .txt file according to the Ground Control Points format specification and place it along with the images.
Processing Node Management
By default CloudODM will randomly choose a default node from the list of publicly available nodes. If you are running your own processing node via NodeODM you can add a node by running the following:
odm node add mynode http://address:port
Then run odm as following:
odm -n mynode c:\path\to\images
If no node is specified, the default
node is selected. To see a list of nodes you can run:
odm node -v
For more information run odm node --help
.
If you are interested in adding your node to the list of public nodes please open an issue.
