Description
Newer drones tend to use quad bayer sensors (discussion: https://community.opendronemap.org/t/real-difference-quality-between-a-drone-with-a-12mp-or-48mp-camera/7321/4) which create some memory usage issues for ODM in many scenarios.
ODM should have an option to automatically resize images from such sensors when necessary, probably via a camera database lookup, for the purpose of avoiding memory issues.

Research direction
Start by locating ODM's image preprocessing and camera database entry points, then trace how image dimensions affect memory use. Define the quad Bayer detection and resizing behavior, including when resizing is necessary. Done means supported quad Bayer images avoid the reported memory issues without unnecessary resizing, with coverage for the relevant scenarios.
