Hi Andes,
Dronemapper is very much a one-man effort still in development. Last time I was in contact with Dronemapper (a few months ago) about a Gatewing dataset displayed on their website they were still working on improving accuracy and resolution, although it visually looks fine. However, unlike PhotoScan, no manual or semi-automatic intervention is possible in the processing and more importantly, no GCP could be used (although they are working on that). The latter drawback essentially restricts Dronemapper to visualization applications and makes it inapt for any mapping applications (especially multitemporal mapping as I suppose conservation applications would require).
Best regards
Klaas
