WebODM turns aerial imagery into georeferenced maps, point clouds, digital elevation models, textured 3D models, and Gaussian splats. It runs on the user's computer, including offline, and accepts photos or videos from any drone, including JPG, TIFF, video files, and multispectral imagery. Exports include high-resolution GeoTIFF, PNG, LAS/LAZ, OBJ, and OGC 3D Tiles. Mapping tools include measurements, plant-health indexes, ground-control points, elevation contours, rolling-shutter correction, and sharing links. WebODM uses ODX, a free, open-source photogrammetry engine, and can connect to processing nodes that speak the NodeODX API. It also provides an API with token authentication; tokens expire after six hours by default. Model-level and row-level permissions govern viewing, adding, editing, and deleting objects. WebODM is free to install and use. Optional cloud plans include Starter at $24.00 USD per month billed yearly, Pro at $35.00 USD per month billed yearly, and Business at $99.00 USD per month billed yearly. Listed minimum requirements are 8 GB RAM and 20 GB free disk space.
