One of the lesser-known applications of photogrammetry is in video game design. Many video game developers employ this measurements-from-photos technology to create all kinds of 3D models that are then used as in-game assets. These could range from small, handheld objects such as bottles or firearms to large-scale environments such as cityscapes or mountains. There […]
Digital 3D models are used in a variety of industries, but there is more than one method to create them from a real object or scene. Photogrammetry and 3D scanning are the two primary methods for creating these models. Whether you need 3D models for design, manufacturing, forensics, or research, below are the pros, cons, […]

Among photogrammetry’s many useful applications is in the area of car crashes, specifically the reconstruction of car crashes after on-site evidence has been removed. The ability of photogrammetry to remake car accident scenes is tremendously important to the police and forensic specialists who investigate the aftermath of these kinds of events. This is because car […]
Did you know that you can use a camera to measure a boat for replacement canvas, decks, or sails? Or measure hull or sail shape with a camera? This is possible with the technology called photogrammetry. The PhotoModeler software is the premier software for carrying out photogrammetry with your boat project. [ links updated April 2021 […]
Perhaps one of the most valuable applications of PhotoModeler Technologies’ photogrammetry software–which lets users measure areas from photographs–is in crime scene and forensic photography. Photogrammetry software is valuable to forensic photography because the images taken by crime scene photographers must often be used to present facts about conditions, distances, and placement to a court as […]
