Data Processing
***************
Can I process two or more orthophoto GeoTIFFs to stitch them together?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. ODM is a photogrammetric pipeline and orthophotos do not have the necessary camera information since the images have already been orthorectified. You can use another program such as `Hugin <http://hugin.sourceforge.net/>`_ to do that.
*********
Licensing
*********
I want to build a commercial application that includes ODM. Do I need a commercial license?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ODM is free and open source software, released under the `AGPLv3 <https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM/blob/master/LICENSE>`_. You are free to build and sell applications with it, just make sure to comply with the requirements of the license, in particular the disclose source requirement.
Are there other licensing options aside from the AGPLv3?
--------------------------------------------------------
Nope, sorry!

Memory issues
*********
Your computer is running out of memory, what can you do?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. First you can buy more RAM, this is the ultimate and final solution.
2. Alternatively you can resize the images when uploading and/or tweak your quality settings.
3. If you are using Windows with Docker+WSL2, (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/) you can add two rows in your .wslconfig file so that Docker will use a swapfile:
"swap=128GB" # you will need 128GB of disk space of course
"swapfile=C:\\temp\\wsl-swap.vhdx" # this is where the swap file will be stored
Full documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config
4. In Linux you can do the same as 3. adding a swap file or a partition dedicated to swap. For more information, please consult your search engine of choice as there are a lot of different distributions and methods to add swap.
In both cases you will need preferably a fast SSD or an NVME drive, and the computing process will be still a LOT slower.
