By: Matt Klymson PhotoModeler is Windows software for creating 3D models and measurements from photographs using ordinary digital cameras. PhotoModeler Scanner adds the capability of creating dense point clouds like a laser or 3D scanner. The PhotoModeler 2010 and PhotoModeler Scanner 2010 releases build on 18 years of product history. These 2010 releases are focused on efficiency and time savings for the user. All of the software’s core algorithms have been rewritten for higher performance. In addition, many of the algorithms are now threaded to take advantage of modern multi-core CPUs. Comparing PhotoModeler 6 to PhotoModeler 2010 on a four core computer, a user may experience speed improvements of up to 4x in project processing, 16x with automatic target marking, and 32x during DSM creation. These massive improvements will help PhotoModeler users complete 3D measurement and modeling projects more quickly. “Being a long time user of PhotoModeler I am very happy to see an already great product enhanced even more”, says Dan Mills – President, DCM Technical Services. He continues, “Many of the computations in PhotoModeler 2010 can best be described as blisteringly fast and use of multi-core threading makes it even faster. Excellent!” New features in PhotoModeler 2010 include: greatly improved speed and efficiency, support for geographic coordinates (geoids, map-systems, conversions); Getting PhotoModeler 2010 and the Beta Version During the public beta period, starting today and running until Q4, customers purchasing the current PhotoModeler 6 and PhotoModeler Scanner 6 versions will receive a free upgrade to PhotoModeler 2010 or PhotoModeler Scanner 2010 respectively, when they are released.
