DroneDB is free and open source software for aerial data storage. It provides a convenient location to store images, orthophotos, digital elevation models, point clouds or any other file.

We welcome feedback from the community to decide what to implement or prioritize next. Here's the current list of features that are going to be implemented soon:
- Support for parsing/display of 360/180 panoramic images
- Support for adding annotations to maps
- Persistent annotations/measurements on point clouds
- Support for adding measurements to maps
- 1.0 release on Registry (expected mid 2022)
- User management UI
- Logo/brand customizations
- Organizational accounts
- STAC catalog generation
- Improve Documentation
- Processing (ability to perform operations on point clouds, orthophotos, images, etc.)
- Plugins framework
Requirements:
- sqlite3
- spatialite
- cmake
- libgeos
- g++ >= 10.1.0 (very important!
⚠️ g++ 8 has a bug in the stdc++fs library that will prevent the software from running properly) - GDAL >= 2.1
On Ubuntu you can simply execute this script to install the dependencies:
scripts/ubuntu_deps.shThen:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/DroneDB/DroneDB ddb
cd ddb
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && makeOn Windows you should install Visual Studio (the free Community Edition works great), Git and CMake. Then:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/DroneDB/DroneDB ddb
cd ddb
md build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release --target ALL_BUILD -- /maxcpucount:14
After you've made a successful build (see above), make sure the build directory is empty (remove it) and that you have npm installed. Then:
npm install
Should be sufficient to build the NodeJS bindindgs.
You can test that they work by issuing:
scripts\setup_windows_env.bat (Windows only)
npm test
