This repo is no longer maintained in favor of vimodev/drone-atlas. That application is the same in functionality but much better in usability since it does not rely on a Node process in a Docker container but instead on Java. This makes it easier to deploy and faster to run.

A web-based application to explore your DJI drone footage on a map. Point the server at the directory that contains your footage, press 'Synchronize Database' and the server will handle the rest.

(Developed and tested with DJI Mini 2)

Plain map view of data points

Satellite view of data points

Inspecting a single data point

Watching a video after clicking the thumbnail

Inspecting an image

Example use

• Directory scanning
• Automatic analysis and parsing of scanned files
• Plotting of footage data points / images onto OSM or Satellite view
• Filtering plotted footage based on attributes
• Inspecting data point / image information including camera settings
• Opening and watching source footage at exact point of the data point in the footage

• Improved layout on data point / image inspection pages
• Improve marker visibility through coloring and positioning (mainly in high density areas)
• Transcoded streaming, raw footage streaming is less than ideal for non-network streaming
• Authentication for exposing service to internet
• File / footage management page

• Thumbnail retrieval might be broken in docker deployment.
• Parsing of particular videos might result in a fatal error (unknown what causes it atm)

1. Copy and adapt docker-compose.yml
2. Run docker-compose up -d
3. If the dronemap container's logs mention ECONNREFUSED, please execute node ace migration:run --force manually in the container after the database container has fully started.

1. apt update && apt install ffmpeg
2. git clone git@github.com:vimodev/dronemap.git
3. Set up database
4. Fill out .env and generate key with node ace generate:key
5. npm run dev
