Inpho

Description

Inpho® software is designed to precisely transform aerial images into consistent and accurate point clouds and surface models, orthophoto mosaics and digitized 3D features using state-of-the-art photogrammetry techniques. Its modules can be used as a complete system or as individual components which integrate easily into any photogrammetric production workflow.
