An evaluation of an off-the-shelf digital close-range photogrammetric software package

摘要

A series of digital close-range photogrammetric measurement tests with different non-metric images were carried out with the off-the-shelf digital close-range photogrammetric software package PhotoModeler Pro for two different test fields, to investigate the photogrammetric performance of the software, and also the strategies for different practical applications. The test results are generally promising. Theoretical discussions about some related concerns regarding possible improvements of this or other similar software are presented as well.
