WebODM and Orthomosaics with Autel Evo II 8k

[CW3Drones]

I’ve been practicing orthos with my Autel 2 8k using the mission plan in the explorer app, and WebODM.

Is there a free open source software solution to accurately mark GCPs? I’ve seen lots of subscription services and expensive GCPS like Propeller, etc., but don’t want to commit until I have a line on clients…and am comfortable with the process.

Until now, I’ve only done residential and commercial real estate shots, with the occasional special event or special interest photo or video compilations.
Now that I’m getting more comfortable with WebODM, agriculture, construction, etc., are within reach!

Hello, got yesterday some testflights (two rectangular and one waypoint) above an area of interest for our history studies (le Camp de Beverloo [Beverloo Training Area)]. I made the orthophoto in WebODM (great result) and made afterwards a textured model in Agisoft Metashape. It is published (with annotations) on Sketchfab:

De admin. gebouwen langs de zuidkant van het Cavaleriekamp: de nog bestaande blokken van K141 t.e.m. K163. De K161 is de manège; de K160 is de smidse (la forge); nu tot paardenstal omgebouwd. - Cavaleriekamp - Manège - Smidse (forge) - 3D model by FHQ-Wehrwolf

The craft is an Autel Evo 2 pro (6K) which behaves super well! Sadly the app lost some of its possibilites (Smart Orbit etc.) after the most recent update!
