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.

- 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
Building From Source
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
Building NodeJS bindings
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
