OpenDroneMap Beta v0.3.1 (hotfix)

This release fixes a compilation bug introduced by an external module, mvs-texturing.

Instructions:

1. Download this release.
2. Run bash configure.sh reinstall

OpenDroneMap Beta v0.3

Changelog

Features:

• Video SLAM processing (optional install) see wiki
• UI Changes:
  • Global settings file
  • project path setting
  • verbose flag
  • parameter name simplification
• GCP improvements:
  • Allow EXIF override
  • Automatically find gcp_list.txt
  • Use original images for georeferencing
  • Multithreaded
• add opensfm-processes n flag for memory management
• expose tone mapping parameter to mvs-texturing
• Add optional modules in contrib/ directory: NDVI, GRASS DEM, Blender
• Expose odm_orthophoto settings: BigTIFF, no-tiled, compression type
• DEM generation using PDAL and a progressive morphological filter
• More robust installation process (See readme)

Fixes

• better logging for subprocesses
• update GDAL for multithreading
• fix texturing global illumination
• allow for partial restart of opensfm
• Minimize Dockerfile
• and more....

Known Bugs

• using a GCP file, the resized images must be very close in size to the originals, or it will either fail or come out very weird.
• OpenSfM uses a lot of memory in systems with a high number of processors. For now, use --opensfm-processes n where n is smaller than your total number of cores (find that out by running nproc)
