Introduction In this post, I demonstrate how to create and visualize an orthomosaic from aerial images using a technique called orthophotography. This is done through the use of OpenDroneMap (ODM), QGIS, and DroneYard. ODM is a software toolkit for processing aerial imagery and creating 3D models, maps and other geospatial products. QGIS, a Geographic Information […]

Simulated City, courtesy of Duality.ai. Built with Unreal Engine 5. Powered by AWS SimSpace Weaver New Feature AWS SimSpace Weaver has introduced a new feature to enable taking a simulation “snapshot”, which is a full state capture of all the simulated entities at a moment in time. This feature allows customers to backup and restore […]
