Photogrammetric Imagery Processing Software

DPW PHOTOMOD

Digital Photogrammetric Workstation

PHOTOMOD provides a closed production cycle, and involves the generation of many kinds of value-added products: digital maps, DEM, orthomosaics, 3D-vectors without the use of third party solutions. The PHOTOMOD software complex is used in all areas where metric information about the Earth with maximal precision is required.

Description

This state-of-the-art software allows the extraction of geometrically accurate spatial information from almost all commercially available types of imagery, whether obtained by film or digital cameras, UAS, high resolution satellite scanners.

PHOTOMOD is a modular system. This allows users to obtain maximum benefit from its high level of flexibility. Each module performs specific operations during a certain stage of processing. Configure for optimal system production. Buy only the modules you need for your particular workflow. Easy operation. User interface of each module is optimized for module functions. Still, general interface elements remain uniform throughout the system.

Though highly integrated through the sharing of project data, each module has a unique place in the overall workflow, making it possible to construct consistent project processing sequences. The fundamental concept of PHOTOMOD is to enable projectwork through a series of well-defined steps (data preparation, block adjustment, processing) and provide the support of a flexible set of tools at every stage.
