vimodev / dronemap

A web-based geographical footage explorer for footage shot with DJI drones.

Warning

This repo is no longer maintained in favor of vimodev/drone-atlas.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.

DroneMap

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)

Example use

Current features

• 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

Potential future features

• 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

Known issues (might or might not be working on these)

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

Running with Docker

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.

Running (development)

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

dronemap's Issues

Database issue?

Hi

I would love to get this amazing project working. However, whenever I click 'Synchronize Database' in the UI, I get the following error message on the docker logs:

Starting database file sync {"level":50,"time":1639565577215,"pid":19,"hostname":"9850ca5e87f5","name":"dronemap-backend","msg":"insert intofiles (created_at, file_path, id, sha256, size, updated_at) values ('2021-12-15 13:52:51', '/Drone Backup/DJI Mavic 2/2020-04-24/DJI_0528.MP4', 'efb7890c-c214-4afa-b44f-e85ebf2b31e8', '329ecbf5fd94c706dd0954375816618230e862cc47b77671ab00743ccdc8a2e0', 3758910266, '2021-12-15 13:52:53') - ER_WARN_DATA_OUT_OF_RANGE: Out of range value for column 'size' at row 1"}, Starting database file sync

Nothing happens on the web UI. The drone data doesn't get populated on the map. However, that error shows that it might be an issue with the database with the column 'size' being populated with out of range data.

Here's my docker-compose implementation:

Thank you.
