In this video, we go in depth how to make 2D, 2.5D and 3D mapping.
This is exclusively with Dronelink (although the principle is applicable for other flight apps too)
The first mission is with the DJI Mavic Pro and the 2nd and 3rd mission are with the DJI Inspire 2 with X5S gimbal.
The image format remains 16/9 and not 4/3 like for equirectangular images.
For stitching of the 2D and 2.5D image, I have used the Kolor Autopano Giga 4.4.2 (although this is discontinued) you can use the KRPano tools;
krpano.com/home/
For rendering of the 3D model, I use the software from WebODM;

For 3D model viewing, I use MeshLab;

Thanks. I followed your tutorial and instantly got some amazing 3D model. Great stuff!

[@emanakukursawe6039]

Thank you - I did (nearly) all of this a couple of days ago, but my houses and trees had no "sides" (because I used -90 or -85 only. The -75 and the orbit I will try tomorrow! Thank you - so cool!!!!

[@NtwrkTeam]

Just Wow! great job

[@gingerdude94]

Really insightful

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

Excellent video: clear and informative. Thank you for sharing!

[@YourCountdown]

Het was zeer fijn om jou te leren kennen. Knappe video! Altijd welkom op het Duigemhof als je in de buurt bent.

[@DanielBarrios83]

Amazing

[@jmbdeblois]

Amazing job. I'm going to try it for Loire Valley castles !!

[@bradleydax8237]

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any help you can give me

[@jakeissac7762]

@Bradley Dax Instablaster :)

[@bradleydax8237]

@Jake Issac i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bradleydax8237]

@Jake Issac it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@jakeissac7762]

@Bradley Dax glad I could help :)

Hi im trying to arrange a map on this but its losing all the paths as i fine tune the area

[@jackchiang666]

Thanks for your video. I just wonder which plan should I subscribe from the dronelink website .. so I can get mapping ?

[@OyiboVFX]

The basic Mapper plan should be sufficient

[@Prinziman]

Very good video, I have a question: for the 3d mapping what kind of license I need in Dronelink? I was about to acquire the elite hobby license (99$) but, before I buy it, I would like to know first if the 3d mapping is included in it.

[@OyiboVFX]

As I have a full license, I don't know the limitations of your plan. However, 3D mapping is a grid mapping but with you camera tilted in e.g. -70deg angle. That gives you better 3D effect. But you can make the mapping yourself. Not too hard. Good luck

[@Prinziman]

@@OyiboVFX thank you for the advices, I'll follow them. Have a nice day 😊

[@likeaspacemonkey]

If you are planning on mapping areas with signifcant elevation differentials then i would suggest one of the Business plans. I also bought the Elite plan initially but then realised that you cannot automatically follow the terrain which is imperative if you want imagery with a consistent GSD.

[@eaojnr]

Oyibo, how come in your mapping I see beizer turns than straight corners? Is this the old version of the hub?

[@LerosOnline]

Terrible ! Amazing !! Thanks

[@stevencook5375]

What do you use these maps for? Can they be measured with accuracy?

[@OyiboVFX]

I use them as high dev images and overlays in Google Earth for my work

[@ycho]

Do you have this video without background music / sound? I'm having difficulty hearing your voice and I really regret it because this video seems to be very very useful

[@OyiboVFX]

I know. One of the earlier vids

[@tchampt]

What package that's enough for mapping 2D on Mavic Air 2 with 48MP?

[@OyiboVFX]

If you're handy, you can make your own mapping plan. I always do that

[@FretkaDraveN]

I have the enthusiast plan. Is there any way to change flight livel during a mapping mission? I want to change the flight level when the drone reaches a certain boundary point of the map, but I can't find any way to do so without upgrading my plan to enable "above ground level" (AGL) altitude.

[@OyiboVFX]

I’ll have a look tomorrow

[@OyiboVFX]

I don’t know there enthusiast plan. Can you set ground level in three set up of your plan?

[@IamTreken]

Can you clarify what version of drone link you are using? I have the premium version and I’m not seeing several of the settings you adjusted.

[@OyiboVFX]

Like what? Premium give you most of them. Mainly the functions you basically need

[@IamTreken]

I was able to set it up and run the mission. The 3D turned out fair but there were some abnormalities. See here: www.dropbox.com/s/fov0eouh6csm4wa/7DE2826B-93A6-4A5F-9C13-6CF594B8A4F2.jpeg?dl=0

[@Alexander-iq6bc]

My drone just takes random photos during the flying. Sometimes 5 in a row, then 3 minutes later one photo. Do you know what could be wrong?

[@OyiboVFX]

Then I need the flightplan. Can you send to me?

[@Alexander-iq6bc]

@@OyiboVFX Thanks for your time. Here it is. app.dronelink.com/alexander-bjelkendal/rosenforsb-cken/plan/dQBQTFFZatxebg2xOVaW/HAiAYcNDGWNVRIqJ9kQV

[@OyiboVFX]

@@Alexander-iq6bc got it. Is this your first mapping? Contact me at our Facebook group pls.

[@Alexander-iq6bc]

@@OyiboVFX I've done a couple of mapping. But this is the first with Dronelink. I will check the facebook-group.

[@ecoaventurasdelistmox]

at 19:10 you say you have to first download "docker" ???

[@OyiboVFX]

Docker is required when using WebODM. But it's free

[@RosChivin]

When support DJI AIr 2s

[@OyiboVFX]

That can take a long time before DJI releases the SDK

[@howellphotographicarts5746]

Thanks for much for your great tutorials. Since Autopano is now gone (😞) I wonder what you might be using for stitching these days. I've been looking into OpenDroneMap (and WebODM) and it seems very capable.

[@howellphotographicarts5746]

I see you're using OpenDroneMap (and WebODM) for the 3D project ... just wondering why not for the 2D and 2-1/2D orthomosaics. Thanks

[@olafurmarteinsson9036]

You say that you never fly in a "straight" line and that you angle them for a better photo, do you know why it is that a "perpendicular" pattern results in a worse result in processing?

[@OyiboVFX]

I have no clue what you mean

[@livus360visuals6]

I just finished my first test map, but now I'm stuck, where are the pictures? how do I download them to my PC? how do I share them with my customer? why doesn't Dronelink give any info

[@OyiboVFX]

The images are on the drone's SD card. Copy them to the pc as normal. Proces as normal

[@timothyj.sparrow1981]

Just to let you know .. I live near this location and I was stopped from flying my mavic mini ( safety altitude of max 30:meters at the time ) at this location by the police in the spring of this year as you are very close to the aircraft flight path to Brussels airport .. for sure if they did do a control of your KZbin channel you may have a problem too ... However thanks for the tutorial ...

[@OyiboVFX]

Depends which location you mean. Without a license, it's "only" 10m altitude in Belgium. This is all outside the Brussels Airport NFZ.

[@integratorzltd]

Excellent video - the music put me to sleep half way through. How about a version without the music?

[@OyiboVFX]

It’s about the content. Music is not important

[@fritzstudios8571]

at 11:03 when flying over the edges - you can't see the building. this is important. Can you explain this? So if I do a 3d image, should I have more perimeter or less?

[@OyiboVFX]

I would go for more. But your image is getting larger. But that you can cut off later in post
