WebODM

Wondering how you can turn drone imagery into detailed maps and 3D models? In this one-on-one course, you’ll learn how to use WebODM to process and visualize geospatial data, with personalized guidance. You’ll work through online modules and hands-on assignments, gaining practical skills for analyzing and presenting drone imagery.

WebODM

WebODM (Web OpenDroneMap) is powerful open-source software for processing drone imagery. It allows you to convert aerial photos into detailed maps, 3D models, and digital elevation models (DEMs), which is crucial for applications in geospatial data, such as cartography, agriculture, construction, and environmental management.

With WebODM, you can easily process geospatial data via a user-friendly web interface. This makes the software ideal for both beginners and advanced users. Whether you want to create accurate topographic maps, generate 3D terrain models, or develop digital elevation models, WebODM provides the tools to perform these tasks efficiently.

As open-source software, WebODM gives you full control without the need for expensive commercial licenses. This makes it not only cost-effective but also flexible for applications across various sectors.

What will you learn in this Blended Learning course?

In the Blended Learning WebODM course, you’ll learn how to effectively process drone imagery and convert it into geospatial data. The course combines online learning with interactive sessions, allowing you to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of photogrammetry, which enables you to use aerial photos to create detailed maps and 3D models. You’ll also learn how to install and configure WebODM so you can use it optimally for your specific projects. The course focuses on processing drone imagery into orthomosaics and digital elevation models (DEMs), and provides advanced techniques for analyzing and visualizing geospatial data for various applications such as surveying, construction, and environmental research.

This course is suitable for both beginners and advanced users, and offers hands-on experience working with WebODM. You’ll develop skills that you can apply in various sectors, such as construction, agriculture, and geospatial analysis. Whether you’re just starting out with drone image processing or want to improve your existing skills, the course will help you take your knowledge and experience to the next level.

Why choose this WebODM course?

Blended learning combines independent online learning with practical, interactive sessions. This allows you to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience with WebODM and drone image processing. The online modules give you the freedom to study at your own pace. You’ll take interactive lessons on photogrammetry, processing drone imagery, and generating geospatial data, such as orthomosaics and digital elevation models (DEMs). You’ll learn how to install, configure, and optimize WebODM for various projects. You’ll also learn how to use the software efficiently for geospatial analysis.

During the hands-on online sessions, you’ll immediately apply the knowledge you’ve gained. You’ll work with real drone imagery and receive guidance from WebODM experts. You’ll learn how to process drone imagery into maps and 3D models. In addition, you’ll discover how to use the results for various applications, such as surveying, construction projects, and environmental research. By working hands-on with realistic geospatial scenarios, you’ll develop practical workflows. These ensure accurate and up-to-date data, which is essential for effective geospatial applications.

The combination of flexible online learning and hands-on training ensures that you not only learn how to work with WebODM but also how to effectively use the software for geospatial projects. After this course, you will be able to independently process, analyze, and apply drone imagery. This will enable you to make better, data-driven decisions in your field.

Frequently Asked Questions About Courses

After the course, you’ll have another two weeks to ask the instructor questions. Since the instructor is already teaching other courses, it’s best to email your questions to info@geo-ict.nl. Your question will be forwarded to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours.

If you’re a bit further along and encounter practical problems you can’t solve on your own, it’s best to use Online Support. You’ll spend one day online with the instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.

  • Blended learning, also known as hybrid learning, is an educational method that combines traditional face-to-face classes with online learning materials and interactive sessions. This approach offers students flexibility and control over aspects such as the time, place, and pace of learning, while allowing them to benefit from direct interaction with instructors and fellow students. ​
  • At the Geo-ICT Training Center in the Netherlands, blended learning is implemented by having students study largely independently, supplemented by scheduled interactive sessions with an instructor. During these sessions, students can ask questions and discuss complex topics, which fosters a deeper understanding of the course material. All Blended Learning courses begin with a 2-hour online session. The instructor delivers presentations and assigns various exercises and assignments to the student. The student can then work on these independently. After a few weeks, another one-hour online session follows.

If you run into problems in practice that you can’t solve on your own, you have two options: you can sign up for a beginner or advanced course, or you can sign up for Online Support.

You’ll spend a day online with an instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.

 

All courses are taught in person. Course hours are from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Coffee, tea, lunch, and a laptop are provided.
