Hi Nick,
This is something I would be very interested in and pleased to see added to OpenSfM.
Cheers,
Will
Hi Will,
Is there anything I can build off to get started or a preferred approach?
Nick
Hi Nick and Will,
OpenSfM does not compute orthophotos on its own, but can be used as a part of the process.
The typical approach to create orthophotos is
https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap is a project that installs and runs the required software for all of the process. The python-port
branch has the option to use OpenSfM for computing the camera positions.
Does this branch generate the orthophoto using Python? If it does it might be a good starting point.

The typical approach to create orthophotos is
- Compute the camera positons (OpenSfM does this part)
- Compute depth maps or dense point clouds
- Compute a mesh and texture it using the images
- Take a picture (the orthophoto) of that mesh

It generates the orthophoto using a C++ code (https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/tree/python-port/odm_orthophoto). Python there refers only to the run.py
script with is the one in charge of running the required tools for each of the processes
Then Would it make sense to just port the cpp implementation to Python and integrate into osfm?

super late answer here: that would be more complex than just using ODM directly. I don't think is a good plan. I would rather help improving ODM on that side.
Hi there,
I'm considering adding functionality to OpenSfm to create an orthophoto as it doesn't look like this exists. I was wondering if that would be useful? If there is a partial work I'm happy to build of that or take direction on a suggested approach?
Regards,
Nick
