For the reconstruction of the object in PhotoScan enough upload photos, no additional information is required. Reinstated textured 3D model can be saved in various formats - OBJ, 3DS, PLY, FBX, VRML, COLLADA, U3D, PDF.

PhotoScan capable of handling any photos taken with any digital camera, from any angle. The main thing is that each element of the reconstructed object was seen at least two positions taken.

If the program enter at least one distance between the object and shooting positions, PhotoScan restores the scale of the entire model and allows you to define the distance between any two points of the object and calculate the area and volume of the object or its parts.

If the program to enter the coordinates of at least 3 points on the object, or 3 point shooting, PhotoScan automatically attaches the model to a given coordinate system, allows us to calculate the projection of the model on a given surface ( orthophoto ), DEM relative to a given surface (DEM), and save orthophoto DEM in various coordinate systems and formats.

Processing of images is fully automated and requires no camera calibration or manual labeling of photos.


Supported formats:
Input formats: JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, JPEG Multi-Picture Format (MPO).

Output formats: GeoTIFF, xyz, ASPRS LAS, Google KMZ/KML, COLLADA, VRML, OBJ, PLY, 3DS, FBX, Universal 3D, PDF, etc.

What's New
Version 1.0.4 build 1847:
(6 April 2014)
- No information.

Requirements:
Minimum configuration:
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard or later.
- Intel Core 2 Duo or faster.
- 2 GB of RAM.

Recommended configuration:
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard or later.
- Processor Intel Core i7.
- 12 GB of RAM.

The number of pictures that can be processed PhotoScan, depends on the amount of available RAM. At a resolution of one photo of 10 megapixels, 2 GB of memory is enough to handle 20-30 images. 12 GB will allow to process 200-300 photos.

OpenCL acceleration:
- PhotoScan support computing on graphics processors (GPU), accelerating the program.
