libre360

Overview

This repository contains code for the EECS 398 group working on the odm360 project with the Cleveland Metroparks, and all the great extensions and reinventions of that code for all the other things we want to do. The idea is to build a 360 camera from individual cameras for the purposes of high quality 3D reconstructions in challenging environments where drones don't work or don't work well.

The original plan used a Sony α6000 using gphoto2, but the project has been expanded to use that fancy new Raspberry Pi camera.

Quickstart: Install from packages

• Buy Pis, SD cards, cameras, wires, GNSS receivers, etc. Parts list here.
• Solder, jumper, assemble, etc. Instructions here.
• Flash parent SD card with Raspberry Pi OS
• Add empty ssh file and appropriate wpa_supplicant.conf like this with wifi info to boot partition on that SD card. Put it in the parent Pi and start it up.
• SSH into the pi ssh [email protected] with password raspberry.
• Change the default password passwd, update, upgrade sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y and install Git sudo apt install git -y.

TODO: correct this

• Add the package repo to /etc/apt/sources.list
• Install using dpkg --install odm360.deb

Slightly less quick start: Install from scripts

• Clone the odm360 repo git clone https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/odm360.git, cd into the folder cd odm360
• Run provisioning/parent_pi_setup.sh
• Run the web app with python3 -m flask run --host=0.0.0.0
