What if you would do this, but recording a video at high frame rate, and exporting this video file as individual images in some editing software?
@ photo has GPS data, which a video does not. One reason to use photos.
Had an app in the late 90's called "3DFX" - came FREE with a high end video card. It was able to make 3D objects out of flat files, move objects through space, control textures of every facet and lighting at absurd levels (pin lights, ambient, reflections, fog, motion, etc.) I ended up rendering splash screens with Premier Pro for cable TV commercials my boss wanted. I was NOT a graphic designer, more of a CIO, but I had a lot of fun doing that stuff.
Totally cool
Excellent results! Thanks for the video!
Thank you, this was a simple and fast intro about shooting 3D models with a drone! I'm looking for a way to capture 3D of a pretty large abandoned factory that is about to be demolished.
You mentioned a free map stitching solution that you'd cover in a later video, but I just scrolled through your videos and didn't see it. Did I miss it or have you not done it yet?
up on this
I appreciate your dedication to answer my question! thanks!

This is pretty cool. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for sharing
I can't wait to try it with the Dji Mini.
Very interesting tutorial, thanks to share these pieces of information with us!
Thats interesting, great video as always 👍👍
awesome what a great video... great to see a drone video that is thinking outside the square
Wow! I took your advice, I used the free trial and made photos from my dji mini 2 manually, im blown away. I scanned about 20 acres of mountain property in amazing detail. I’m going to make a video about it on my channel, i literally cannot say enough how good it came out. Thank you for showing me how to do it! Ps I’m also going to print 3d models of the property too.
Julian, I have plans of doing the exact same thing. Just subscribed and hit the bell so I can hear how your project went once you make the video!
@@mattpopovich thanks Matt. Spoiler alert it went amazing, thanks for the sub, I’ll be posting a video soon.
@@JulianMakes Fantastic! Looking forward to it!
Good to know there is a free trial. What is the best free alternative?
where's the video?
That is very impressive, thanks very much.
Nice video, you said you have been playing around with some free software that is almost as good. What is that?
thank you very much for this information sir!
Very good video sir, you have a a good energy when speaking that makes it enjoyable to watch. Thanks !
And I would be very interested for your future video about a free alternative to drone deploy :)
check out WebODM
Thats very cool
Nice! You forgot to add a really important step something easily missed is the aspect ratio, generally for normal pretty pictures you would do 16:9 say 3860x2250 like on my Mini2, however this is actually not the correct setting for data capture. In 4:3 you actually get 4000x3000. TLDR 16:9 on the Mini 2 is 8.685.000 pixels and 4:3 aspect ratio at 4000x3000 is 12.000.000 pixels :)
that way your capturing at 12 MP instead of 8.7 MP
Your welcome :)
Thanks I include that in the next one for Mini 2 :-)
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Same thing should apply there as far as i understand aspect ratios
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA yes pls do the mini 2 bc I have that drone
You're awesome! Thank you for sharing this little tidbit!
you need to use GCPs to get better accuracy for exact location of property etc. I've looked into mapping extensively and want to do it myself. So glad you made a video on this. DroneDeploy would be my software of choice too if I was to pay.
Any suggestions on free applications for someone wanting to start out?
You are the best! Thank you so so much
You're welcome!
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA you have such an layback style and great humour! If there would be two bells, i would activate em
Parabéns, um excelente vídeo para quem trabalha com energia solar.
Second, awesome video
This is a great video, thanks for sharing. I'm wondering, have you looked at the NeRF models that can be created with the Luma AI and 3D Presso apps? As a fan, I would love to hear your thoughts.
Very nice , well explained.
Do you have an option to export the file from the website?
Or it’s only for view?
amazing
Also, DroneDeploy should REALLY sell their data/models to Google - and of course, if they do, give you a share of whatever they make from that sale. I think that would speed up the improvement of Google Earths extremely sub-par 3D models.
I always assumed this wouldn't work well, because there's a significant processing delay when you take a raw image, which I assumed meant you couldn't take images in quick succession. Not to mention the major lag that occurs when while it's processing. My screen is frozen for the duration which is pretty dangerous.
Hello Henrick, thank you for this very interesting video. Couldn't you use the "Hyperlapse circle" function in order to capture all the pictures automatically?
I'm pretty sure you can - just wanted to keep it simple
I am pretty sure if you have markers(you have to know the coordinates for those points so they have to be measured) on the edges of the map and one in the middle of the area you would get a better more accurate location of the house but it requires more tools.
We use GCP ground control points to align the maps and increase accuracy. We are running 1.6cm accuracy on our maps and surveys. Just a note. The Phantom 4 pro v2 is the best for mapping like this as it has a mechanical shutter. I looked at upgrading to the mavic 3 pro with the hassleblad camera and it uses a rolling shutter so not as good as the old Phantom. Our M300 also is rolling shutter with the H20t so kind of a disappointment. Great overview, drone deploy can do so much more than you can imagine 😊
I have read that the Enterprise version has a mechanical shutter.
The Mavic base and the Mavic 3 multispectral both have mech shutter. The Mavic 3 thermal does not have one.
Great video. Pix4d and DJI Terra provide more detailed maps than Drone deploy imho but licenses are expensive. Dji Terra total license costs 5k. And you have to pay yearly for updates. Crazy these prices but i guess it will generate lots of income for pilots that have good paying clients.
Thanks for the info!
cool
Hello Henrik. Thanks for upload. It looks very nice !!! I have a question: Can the 3D models be integration on a website ? Maybe there is a code or sometihing link ???
I have no idea - but you can export both a obj and point cloud
Is there any way to use the Mini 3 pro RC for Nadir mapping via a SDK? Everything I am finding says it’s impossible unless you do it manually.
I've done this a few times on autodesk recap and mesh room. Mesh room is free and open source, but hasn't worked that well for me. Autodesk is free for some uses, like students, but I'm not sure under which circumstances.
In my case, I never thought to use point of interest on the drone. Instead I just orbited manually while just mashing the camera button. Works well enough. I've also tried pointing the camera up on my mini 3 to get more detail out of ledges and roofs, but this doesn't always work well.
i couldn't get meshroom to work very well at all
Great idea. I use WebODM to process the data :D.
Awesome! Is it also possible to measure areas of houses like windows/walls/doors relatively accurately with this or is there a big margin of error when doing that?
hm.. i would think no.. you could probably get a rough idea, but down to a real size, no.. windows and doors usually have size standards.. you can probably guess the size of them doing them using this.. but seeing you can just go up to the house with a meassuring tape and do it manually as you need to be like less than 200 meters away anyways and the time it takes to take all the images takes more time than the walk to the house..
Since the native Hyperlapse mode supports raw, and saves everything as raw images, I think that would be a good option to use as it supports waypoints. Would ensure consistent pictures, too.
how you try it?
@@DannyPeron unfortunately haven't. Have tried waypoints (hyperlapse) and it works well
i have tried, it works well@@adrianstensrud
I would like to measure the volume of trees and shrubs from the ground up to say 500 cm above ground. From what I understand Drone Deploy can do this, but Is there a reasonably priced software that would be able to it?
I do understand it may be easier to measure manually on the ground and calculate the volume in a spreadsheet, which I have done before, but having the visual model for future reference will also be of value.
For playing around a play with polycam . super easy
Hi, thanks you
Is it possible to do photogrammetry from only 4 images?
Great i want to do that with my Mini 3 for a 3D model of my House for Fs2020 but is it only makeable with such a expansive program isnt Blender enough?
What is the file type, when you create the 3D model when you download it from DroneDeploy and can you import it in Blender or Revit.
Hi,
Thank you for the amazing video, whats the second free software that you compiled the pictures?
WebODM
Thank you for this great video. Much appreciated. What is the name of that other free 3D creation software you spoke about? Thank you!
WebODM
There is this program called meshroom it's actually completely free and open source.
cool, thanks
I am very interested in this. Do you plan on using the mini 4 for modeling?
Awesome content as always 🙏🏻
But if I have a Mini 2 I just have to fly it myself during the shooting scene and tale pics at the same time? And that’s the only difference? Thanks in advance!
yes, or use Litchi or Maven
Rainbow on android gives you 5 tries for free and they offer easy to make grid waypoints where you can enter the required picture overlap you want both vertically and horizontally.
But nothing beats Litchi, if you have the money its the best investment there is. With Litchi your Mini 2 is able to do anything + more then the mini 3. the released SDKs for the mini 2 completely destroys it as far as waypoints and taking pictures at exact locations every time.
Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Appreciate it. That’s what makes a content creator awesome, keeping in touch with his audience. 🔝
Hello, nice video.
I'm in the solar business and would like to measure the roofs with a drones before an installation. As lidar is way too expensive i'm wondering if you can do acurate measurments on the 3d model created with photogrammetry. Thank you in advance
Yes I would believe it would be possible - a very relevant case
it is a fantastic tool... not many drone flyers know it. WebODM has gotten very good, make sure you enable rolling-shutter correction..
@JoozdontliketheTruth how many images? it needs local resources so you will need a decent machine and loads of RAM to get results.
Oh wow I'm waiting on my first drone arriving tomorrow a DJI mini pro 4
Thanks for the info now I can create a In n Out burger
ha yes
I looked through your channel and I can't find the alternative modeling you talked about.
Awesome video, subscribed!! I want to buy a Mini 3 pro but ....when it was flying around the house, why were you manually taking the photos? Can I set it up automaticly to take a photo every second?
possible with hyperlapse, as someone suggested - give it a go
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA you could do a circle quickshot and then use FrameExtractor software to extract individual video frames - see here: th-cam.com/video/HpwlYA64FQE/w-d-xo.html
Have you tried the NeRF or 3D Gaussin Splatting techniques to create 3d models? I've been using my DJI Mini with Luma AI (as well as 3D Presso and Poly.cam) for some exciting results. Just wondered if you are aware this and what you think?
Thanks I'll look into that at some point
Nice video, two question. I have DJI mini 3 drone. Is it possible to make it also with DJI mini 3 ? Also I am using mac is it also possible dronedeploy for mac ?
thank you
You can do professional photogrammetry with Epic Games Reality Capture (having a NVIDIA CUDA capable GPU) - Generating the 3D model (with all pro features is free), but the export costs some of their credit points you could acquire for real $$$
Örebro haha, caught me by surprise
Using this process can be obtained a 3D model with precise measures equal to the real ones?
I'm not sure how different the mini 4 pro is from the Mini 3 pro, but I setup way points, and during the way points I set it up to take photos automatically. That way I'm not needing to spam press the photo button.
You don’t have native waypoints with mini 3 pro. I wanted to keep it simple
👍
I'm curious why you can't just hyperlapse for the photographs instead of manually using the button?
Tak for info i denne video, men der er et spørgsmål som du ikke er kommet ind på og som jeg syntes er vigtig. Nemlig kan du udtrække den 3d model så du har den som kopi hjemme hos dig selv? Eller skal du skynde dig at se og nyde den i de 14 dage før kontoen begynder at trække penge?
Du kan eksporterer i forskellige formater
Hi, would this method work with a DJI Mini SE? Thanks!
Yes it will
hi ,
how many days the mail arrives on average
can we download the result fro that website ?
Awesome video! thankyou. Can i ask...what's the free software you hinted at please? cheers
WebODM :-)
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA legend, thanks man 😊
You mentioned plant health. Does the mini 3 pro capture spectral data? I cannot find this info anywhere.
The UI says it - but I have no clue about the rest - how does it work?
Does anyone know the name of the free software he was talking about?
thanks so much this i going to help me make some money off this
Do you think that doing a Hyperlapse around the house taking pictures every second would also give you enough pictures to complete the model?
Possibly a circle hyperlapse at pics every 2 seconds and slowest possible speed. Only way to know is try it... might need several orbits, like he did manually here.
I think you should try it out - good idea
need to have GCP, ground control points, to get accurate position of the images. Since the mini 3 pro doesn't have RTK support.
Which program did you use?
grat tutorial. I am sick of needing three different softwares of which each cost more than 500 Euros/year when they are cheap, just to get one acurate product. Therfore, i subscribet in hope you'll find great open source software ;)
They are free alternatives like WebODM but bottom line is the paid versions are a lot easier to use
Is there a market for selling 3d models like this?
Hi, where can I find the free 3d image software that you talked about? I cannot find it in any of your videos.
WebODM its called
Thanks a lot.@@TECHDRONEMEDIA
Google Earth or Bing maps is not a perfectly accurate positioned map data. If you want the data to be perfectly accurately positioned you need ground control on four corners and middle to get as close as possible to the actual location. Then you import that point data and align the aerial image to your ground control points. (GCPs)
GCPs can be white/orange paint for example or man holes or other structures as long as your tool for gathering point data is a legitimate point gathering GPS head with enough accuracy to level it's real world position perpendicular to the ground before taking the GPS point data shot.
Keep note if the point is gathered while the GPS head is not perfectly perpendicular to the ground then you could have inaccurate point data. (Pretty common in surveying but just with enough points everything should align to your aerial nicely)
Just like with anything though our point data can be off around 1-2cm at least.. which is pretty dang accurate and IMO perfectly fine.
Did you ever release a video about some good free software that you talked about ? Been keeping an eye out Maybe I missed it...
Not yet
@TECH DRONE MEDIA is it still something you are planning on?
Yes, but it’s called WebODM if you wanna check it out
Can I also measure distance in the 3D Model?
yes, and volumen
This method does not seem to work anymore for free. I´m unable to upload anything in free mode.
im going to try to make a model of my house, just dont want to get shot down by neighbours :)
Hehe better talk to them first
Hi, I saw an android app that offers the same function for 3D modeling. It's called SkyeBrowse
Is this possible to be with the Mavic Mini
Yes
Could i still use this app with an RC controller?
yes
Hey! Have you made the follow-up video on how to creat the 3D-model for free? You mentioned a free alternative at 3:11
Not yet
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA ok, thank you
Can the DJI Mavick air 2 do this ???🤔
I'd be very interested 😬😂
yes, just give it a go
What is the 100% free alternative from Drone Deploy?
WebODM
@@TECHDRONEMEDIAI checked and it not free and you confirm please. Thanks in advance
I don't have a drone:( but still good video!
I'm sure you can do I with a cell phone too
Ok!
What is the name of the free alternative to DroneDeploy?
webodm
@TECH DRONE MEDIA
0:15 “Accidentally got shot at” !!
From a law enforcement perspective there was nothing accidental about - the shooting attack was intentional and highly motivated.
Not only a serious crime to shoot into somebody else’s property in residential neighborhood without knowing where missing pellets end up - but also according to Air Traffic Administration regulations to which even constitutes as valid aircrafts.
(indeed the pellets do not stop mid air when running out of inertia and fall to the ground - the trajectory is curved and more flat and if hitting someone in the eye in a low angle during the ballistic fall....... 😮)
Wtf 😮
Can you please share the drone images?
That's very clever, however I don't really see what use the model is once you have it, or am I missing something?
hehe, true.. no, but that is different story
Then you can scan yourself and move into the house.
You get some cool photos of landmarks, landscapes, your home, etc. As for commercial use, they use 3D modeling for CGI, artwork, games and so forth.
Your question is like asking, “Ansel Adams, why bother with all that goblygoock on settings and film developing on different type of film, just take a normal B&W picture and print it, damn it!
To some, it is Art, or a different way of seeing the same 2D image, and to others, it is job related. You just don’t get it 🤔, and/or are not interested 😑, which is fine….. shrugs
Good video but was surprised you didn't use Litchi or other 3rd Party App to fly it for you.
I could easily have done that, but I wanted to get people started without the need to buy someting else
I do believe there is such an app that includes the Mini 2 on iOS, since DJI released the SDK for it. But, not the Mini 3/Pro, yet.
Can you export the 3d image?
You can with mesh room or autodesk recap.
yes
Yes and we can 3D print models from the stl exports of these models. You need a better image capture than shown here
Can someone comment the free software or link
