# Introduction

[WebODM](https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/WebODM) is a free, user-friendly, extendable application and API for drone image processing. It generates georeferenced maps, point clouds and textured 3D models from aerial images.

Developers can leverage this API to extend the functionality of [WebODM](https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/WebODM) or integrate it with existing software like [QGIS](http://www.qgis.org/) or [AutoCAD](http://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/overview).
