PHOTOMOD
What PHOTOMOD is
PHOTOMOD is a professional digital photogrammetry system for converting aerial, UAV, and satellite imagery into orthophotos, terrain and surface models, 3D models, and digital maps. Its workflow includes preparing input, triangulation, terrain and surface modeling, orthotransformation, vectorization, and 3D modeling. Distributed processing and GPU use are supported, and exchange formats allow work with other photogrammetry and geographic information systems. Deployment options include a local workstation, distributed network environment, and GeoCloud service or rental. Supported systems include Windows 8.1/10/11 x64 and several Linux distributions. Local use requires a USB hardware protection key; network use needs a local network connection. The system can be configured for individual specialists or larger mapping teams. Pricing includes PHOTOMOD Core local at 125,000 RUB, paid once and network at 175,000 RUB, paid once. Full local and network suites cost 1,103,000 RUB, paid once and 1,373,000 RUB, paid once, respectively. The software price includes one year of technical support, including consultations, an introduction, and version updates.
