Photogrammetry Software


Some of the most interesting uses of UAVs deployment in science and conservation are terrain mapping and vegetation analysis.


Data capture for mapping or vegetation analysis can be done by multirotor or fixed-wing methods, with the former a good choice for smaller areas that can be covered in less than 20 minutes and the latter better for bigger landscapes that may require up to an hour of flight time (or more).


The photogrammetry software to perform this work is rapidly evolving but at this time the best options carry a rather stunning range of pricing. Tools include both desktop processing and server-farm processing approaches. You have to explore the options to see what matches your end use. Here is a list of processing software for your exploration:
