Frequently Asked Questions

What is PhotoModeler?
PhotoModeler is a Windows software package for measuring and modeling real world objects and scenes through the use of photographs. Developed by Eos Systems Inc, PhotoModeler is a world leader in its class. PhotoModeler is based on the science of photogrammetry, which means to measure from photographs. PhotoModeler brings the powerful capabilities of photogrammetry in a simple, easy-to-use Windows environment.

What is PhotoModeler Scanner?
PhotoModeler Scanner is our new product released Apr 2008. It is an enhanced version of PhotoModeler that adds the capability of scanning surfaces from two or more photos to produce dense point clouds. Somewhat like a laser scanner without the laser.

What is PhotoModeler Automation?
PhotoModeler Automation is a new product bundle released Jan 2009. It includes PhotoModeler 6.3+ and the Coded Target module with the new robust and efficient RAD targets.

What is new in PhotoModeler 6?
PhotoModeler 6 is the latest release of PhotoModeler. Over two years in development, this new version adds some amazing new features, a new user interface, and new videos. We have added a powerful new "Shapes" function for working with geometric solids and provides new, flexible means to export results into other software. The KMZ export format allows users to upload textured building models into the popular 3D globe application Google Earth. Automatic processing of reference points now occurs in the background, while the user is working, which greatly speeds 3D model generation. PM6 also offers new printing and output options, an automated camera library, and Idealize, a sophisticated module that removes lens distortion from photographs for high-end film and animation projects.

Who uses PhotoModeler and PhotoModeler Scanner?
PhotoModeler and PhotoModeler Scanner are used in a number of application areas where measurement and modeling of the real-world is required. These are accident reconstruction, forensics, film and game production, architectural modeling, engineering and scientific applications, and archaeology.
