Project mention: Kalman Filter Tutorial: Kalman Filter from the Ground Up | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-14

They are widely used in narrow circles :)

Two of (arguably the best) open source RC aircraft flight controllers (ArduPilot and PX4) are using extended Kalman filters in their state estimators (essentially sensor fusion that provides attitude/position estimate):

I'm not that familiar with cleanflight/betaflight/inav scene to know what the FPV racer flight controllers use.

Project mention: Suggestion for map sharing/after process with large files | /r/UAVmapping | 2023-12-05

There is DroneDB, it's open source project, and you can self-host, or open up projects locally for free. I also believe it has a cloud service that has a few Gb free, but for bigger projects you would have to buy it. It's pretty ok from my experience, but I'm not sure if you can have annotations, I believe it uses similar libraries as WebODM.
