This is really cool, just took my drone out and took 64 pics of my neighborhood and turned them into a TIFF viewable on qGIS via the ODM CLI. Love it. There are a few oddities, for example it produced a few geoTIFFs for viewing, two of them are correctly placed, but the high resolution one doesn't seem to contain geo bounds and just displays in qGIS adjacent to the world map. Seems like there's still some development to be done, but this seems like a really cool and interesting project. Excited to see where it goes from here! edit: the above was user error (or my lack of patience waiting on the high-rez final photo to load!), everything works wonderfully.

Glad you like it! :) Is this the odm_orthophoto_render.tif file? If so, that's normal. That file is not a higher resolution image, it's just an intermediate file that doesn't have georeferencing and compression. The final georeferenced image, odm_orthophoto.tif, by default is cropped to the bounds of the model and you can disable that by passing "--crop 0". The two images will look identical without crop.

  Very interesting, thank you! i mostly drone as a hobby to get some interesting shots, so this is my first foray into using it to do anything like this. Indeed I am talking about odm_orthophoto_render.tif, I assumed it was the higher resolution one because of the size (about 3x the size of the other two), and qGIS was not treating odm_orthophoto.tif well, but after closer inspection looks like qGIS just didn't like odm_orthophoto.tif because it was having trouble loading it full resolution, but it did end up loading it correctly if I gave it a few more moments to load, and works really well! Thanks so much for the ad hoc tech help, will definitely be playing with this more!

    Welcome! You can also use --build-overviews for speeding up load times in QGIS or --cog for generating Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs that both open fast in QGIS and can be streamed fast over HTTP.
