I am a newbie, but looking at various photo stitching mosaic creation software and it appears it takes LOT of time in processing.
What does DroneDeploy uses as their backend software/infrastructure which makes it almost realtime?

People here are doing that at 120 meters with no problem at all for 4cm/pixel resolution. As for compressing images, that's the last think you want to do when mapping. You really should be shooting raw to avoid all the artefacts that compression causes.
Not really realtime but I am thinking of setting up a large cloud cluster to process such requests. Instead of using our local tiny machines, this cluster would be able to produce results much faster.
Checkout some sample results I got by processing about 166 images texture and ply files which can be viewed on free software like MeshLab

Let me know if this would be of your interest.
Is it that fast? When I looked at it the fast part was just low res initial results. Although I'm sure they have a lot more grunt available for processing that I ever would. But the real problem for me, and a lot of Australians, is that our bandwidth is piss poor thanks to our politicians hijacking the issue. I'd hate to think what it would cost me to transfer a mapping job with 4G which is the best bandwidth I can get and even that would take hours I'm sure. Hopefully I'm wrong about this and others in Australia have worked out a way to do this. Cheers.
