OpenDroneMap is an open source photogrammetry toolkit to process aerial imagery (usually from a drone) into maps and 3D models. [3] [4] [5] The software is hosted and distributed freely on GitHub. [6] OpenDroneMap has been integrated within American Red Cross's in-field Portable OpenStreetMap system. [7]

Aerial survey is a method of collecting geomatics or other imagery data using airplanes, helicopters, UAVs, balloons, or other aerial methods. Typical data collected includes aerial photography , Lidar , remote sensing (using various visible and invisible bands of the electromagnetic spectrum , such as infrared , gamma , or ultraviolet ) and ...
Aerial video is an emerging form of data acquisition for scene understanding and object tracking. The video is captured by low flying aerial platforms that integrate Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and automated image processing to improve the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of data collection and reduction.
Strip aerial photography (or aerial strip photography, or continuous strip photography) is a method of aerial photography that uses a high-speed, low-altitude aircraft to take a continuous picture – a form of strip photography – rather than using overlapping high-altitude photographs, as in conventional aerial photography.
Overlapping of aerial photos means that around 60% of the covered area of every aerial image overlays that of the one before it. [2] Every object along the flying path can be observed twice at a minimum. [2] The purpose of overlapping the aerial photography is to generate the 3D topography or relief when using a stereoscope for interpretation. [2]
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or unmanned aircraft system (UAS), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft with no human pilot, crew, or passengers onboard. UAVs were originally developed through the twentieth century for military missions too "dull, dirty or dangerous" [ 1 ] for humans, and by the twenty-first, they had become essential ...
Earth from Above is a United Nations-supported ecological project conceived and led by Yann Arthus-Bertrand.The project includes a photo essay-style collection of aerial photography produced by Arthus-Bertrand, in which the photographer captured vistas of Earth from various aircraft during a ten-year period.
