The latest version of Eos Systems’ image-based modeling software brings improved results with drone / UAS / UAV projects. It provides much faster processing of large numbers of photographs, handles control points with more flexibility and reads GPS data from drone image headers. Changes include:
- New Smart Project Robust Orient – the photo orientation
algorithm used in Smart Projects has undergone a complete rewrite - GPS Camera Stations – photos that contain GPS data (common
with drone/UAS photos) can be automatically setup with a geo coordinate
system and display in the 3D viewer - Script commands can be run from within
PhotoModeler or by loading a text file - False color surfaces – triangulated PointMeshes have two
new display styles “Color from height” and “Color from photo overlap” - Auto-assign control/EGE – a new tool automatically assigns
control, pinned and multi-point transform points to associated points
in the project - Large project UI speed improvements – improvements in the
speed of various user interface operations - UI updates – new tool icons in the modern ‘flat’ style and
new realistic Camera symbol in the 3D Viewer
Plus 126 fixes and minor improvements. PhotoModeler is offered in three
versions: the base PhotoModeler software
($1145), PhotoModeler Scanner ($2495) which adds SmartMatch
scanning and dense surface modeling, and PhotoModeler Motion,
which contains all the previous features and adds measurement over time ($3495). The update is free for current
customers on an active maintenance subscription. A trial
version is available for download. More on PhotoModeler’s
