The first project that we're funding through the Headwaters Project will upgrade OpenMVS with an improved texturing method, replacing MVS-Texturing.

It's a win-win-win: upstream support for a core dependency, improved algorithms in that library, and reduced memory bottlenecks in OpenDroneMap.

As we build out the new website, our designer added a section that will link on to Industry and Application for OpenDroneMap data.

What would you put for Industry and Application?

We’re collecting cool datasets to show on OpenDroneMap.org, but it also might be useful to have a sentence from you on how you use OpenDroneMap and how it has effected you in your industry.

How has OpenDroneMap changed / improved / supported what you do in your sector?

Following up on the prior request for cool datasets: whether for posting on the website or just showing off for fun, what cool elevation datasets are folks rocking these days? Anything to show off?

We've got some cool things already posted here:

We're working on an updated OpenDroneMap website and we want to showcase datasets from OpenDroneMap enthusiasts there.

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!

Got questions about drones? Questions like “can I legally take down a drone with a flaming arrow, or a trained eagle that’s also on fire?”

I answer most of them here!

One thing maybe not discussed enough is the long term opportunity cost of not investing and supporting open source software. Imagine the more and better Blenders, GIMPs, Firefoxs, InkScapes, QGISs etc we would of had (+ could have) if open source was taken more seriously by government and businesses

This is wonderful! Leymus mollis is California's native beach grass. Introduced European beach grass that was there makes a very different dune structure. The native grass builds lower slope dunes leaving space for foredune plants while the non-native builds steep slopes & less plant diversity.
Here are a couple photos from yesterday’s last minute transplanting of our native Leymus mollis dune grass down on Ocean Beach! Next opportunity is this Saturday! x.gldn.io/e/RmwwQ6fG7Qb

I have been trying to build a 3D model using OpenDroneMap and am looking for guidance how to capture a moving object. I used a Canon D3300 with a constant focal length because my iPhone camera did not work well. #goldens #opendronemap #photogrammetry
