Introduction

What is ODMax

ODMax is a command-line interface and API to extract stills in typical image formats from 360 degree videos. It can:

• Extract frames from videos at demanded start and end times, and with specified frame intervals

• Reproject frames from spherical projections into cube-face projection

• When available in the original video, provide time stamps and GPS positions to the still images

• Store final frames with configurable paths and prefixes in files (for local) or bytestreams for cloud use.

ODMax prepares still materials from videos for downstream use cases such as: - Image analysis such as image recognition and segmentation - 3D photogrammetry (see also OpenDroneMap)

We offer both a Command-Line Interface and an API. Both are fully described in this manual.
