:alt: Browsing to a generated Orthophoto from OpenDroneMap Desktop that covers the Area Of Interest (AOI).

If you have run the task already without a Boundary [GeoJSON], you can load the generated Orthophoto from OpenDroneMap into QGIS to use as your basemap for creating your Boundary [GeoJSON]. This should ensure that your boundary polygon exactly matches the data in your Task, as different basemaps can have errors of 1-10m or more.
If have not generated an Orthophoto for your Area Of Interest (AOI), you can use one of the various methods within QGIS to add a basemap. Just be mindful of possible differences in location, angle, skew, scale, and other registration changes that can occur between your data and a basemap provider's data.

----------------------------
Overviews speed preview of the raster data by allowing the program rendering the raster to choose the closest size pyramid to match the resolution of the display extent that it is being rendered into, potentially saving a significant amount of time retrieving the full-size raster, buffering it, and then downscaling it for display.

In the case of WebODM, Overviews are used to create dynamic tiles for rapid display and navigation of the 2D web map.

------------------------------------------
Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs hereafter) are a special formulation of GeoTIFF files that take advantage of internal overivews as well as tiling (and various forms of compression).

In the case of WebODM, all GeoTIFFs will be generated as COGs because the 2D Map View uses the special attributes of COGs to enable rapid display and preview of the data generated by WebODM.
