## What it is
WebODM is a user-friendly, commercial-grade application for drone image processing that generates georeferenced maps, point clouds, elevation models, and textured 3D models from aerial images. It supports multiple processing engines (ODX, MicMac, LGT) and runs natively on Windows or via Docker on macOS and Linux.

## Use cases
- generate orthophotos and georeferenced maps from drone imagery
- create 3D textured models and point clouds from aerial photos
- process UAV survey images into elevation models
- self-host a photogrammetry processing pipeline
- verify reconstruction accuracy with ground control points and checkpoints

## When to choose
- you need to turn drone/aerial JPEG or TIFF images into maps, point clouds, or 3D models
- you want a free, self-hosted alternative to commercial drone mapping software
- you want a user-friendly GUI with one-click installers instead of command-line photogrammetry tools
- you need GPU-accelerated structure-from-motion processing

## When to avoid
- you only have a low-spec machine and very large datasets (consider cloud processing instead)
- you need a lightweight library to embed photogrammetry into your own code rather than a standalone application
- you specifically want the OpenDroneMap/ODM engine, since WebODM has decoupled from OpenDroneMap
