Eilean Donan

The cliché of castles, but I think I've made a distinctive photo of it.

200 frames from all around shot on the droneybird, processed in WebODM, re-lit and camera parameters chosen in Blender and finished in Luminar Neo.

Prints, cards and more via the website: https://shiny.photo/photo/Eilean-Donan-2d46ad8e4088e90fb041e64a5bc486a7

Heritage in Tarmac

A tribute to a favoured old road - three fragments of the historical Devil's Elbow route through Glenshee presented as a triptych.

I flew the droneybird up and down over a mile of the A93, used #WebODM to build a 3D model of the glen, Blender to compose and relight each frame consistently and finished in Luminar Neo.

Here's an annoying one - we took some drone imagery of a Black Headed Gull colony to help count the chicks. This is a really difficult and disruptive thing to do on foot, so using the drone would be great - except the chicks move!

The first two images are from the raw photos, taken 10s apart on adjacent transects. The final is a clip from the stitched ortho.

I'm not sure there's any way round this?

OpenDroneMap/WebODM/All Platforms:
WebODM (v2.5.2+)

There is currently a bug that will cause an empty white page to be displayed when interacting with the Cloud Import and DroneDB Import functions on the Projects and Tasks view.

These plugins are disabled by default, so this should only impact folks who have explicitly enabled these plugins.

The cause of this issue is being investigated.

It's been years since I visited Balvaird Castle on the edge of Perthshire. A definite favoured spot to fly the droneybird too.

First of these is a 3D model, rendered in Blender. All finished in Luminar Neo.

Photogrammetry meets art again.
I've liked this view of Amulree and Strathbraan Church from the Glen Quaich road for many years, but always thought it best from a slight elevation.

So the "closeup" photos are from a 3D model - 262 * 48MP = 12Gpx of source images (DJI Air3), built using WebODM, re-illuminated and rendered in Blender and finished in LuminarAI.
Wide-angle shot for context.

#OpenDroneMap I ran 900 images using split-merge on my local PC, but despite setting the GSD to 0.6 (same as the imagery) the resolution is notably worse than when I ran the same images through WebODM Lightning. Can anyone suggest what I need to tweak?

The only other settings changed from default were Fast-orthophoto and skip-3dmodel

#WebODM I've installed WebODM and got it working on my desktop and I'm keen to try a larger dataset using split-merge. Has anyone got a nice tutorial for this? I'm a bit confused by how much overlap I should set

Craignavar Deserted Township, Glen Almond

Comprising the stone ruins of at least 22 rectangular buildings and a corn-drying kiln with associated stone-walled enclosures and fields, Craignavar was deserted in around 1820. It's unknown whether it was part of the forced Highland Clearances or just a voluntary departure due to economic reasons.

Tullibardine Chapel

Some people would take a photo.
I shot 156 * 48MP = 7.3Gpx of data, used WebODM to build a 3d model and rendered it at 8k resolution with moody lighting in Blender, as one does.

(Final toning / colour-grading & vignette in LuminarAI, just for completeness.)
