What is Photogrammetry Software?
Photogrammetry software enables users to create accurate 3D models, maps, measurements, and digital reconstructions from photographs, videos, or aerial imagery. These platforms use computer vision, image processing, and spatial analysis techniques to convert overlapping images into detailed point clouds, meshes, textures, and geospatial datasets. Photogrammetry software is widely used in industries such as surveying, construction, architecture, engineering, mining, archaeology, gaming, and digital content creation. The software often includes tools for image alignment, 3D reconstruction, terrain modeling, orthomosaic generation, and integration with drones, GIS systems, and CAD applications. By transforming visual data into precise digital representations, photogrammetry software helps organizations improve planning, analysis, documentation, and visualization while reducing the need for manual measurements and fieldwork.

AliceVision
AliceVision
We build a fully integrated software for 3D reconstruction, photomodeling and camera tracking. We aim to provide a strong software basis with state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms that can be tested, analyzed and reused. Links between academia and industry is a requirement to provide cutting-edge algorithms with the robustness and the quality required all along the visual effects and shooting process. Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs. It infers the geometry of a scene from a set of unordered photographies or videos. Photography is the projection of a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, losing depth information. The goal of photogrammetry is to reverse this process. The dense modeling of the scene is the result yielded by chaining two computer vision-based pipelines: “Structure-from-Motion” (SfM) and “Multi View Stereo” (MVS). -
