What is Esri Drone2Map?

Esri Drone2Map processes drone imagery into orthomosaics, point clouds, meshes and elevation models, and publishes the results straight into ArcGIS as hosted layers. For organizations whose spatial data already lives in ArcGIS, that publishing path is the whole argument — the alternative is ...

What is Bentley iTwin Capture?

Bentley iTwin Capture, the product previously sold as ContextCapture, produces engineering-ready 3D reality meshes from photographs and point clouds at infrastructure scale — bridges, road corridors, plants, entire city districts. It handles very large datasets by distributing processing across ...

What is Polycam?

Polycam turns a phone into a 3D scanner, supporting LiDAR capture on compatible iPhones and iPads, photo-based photogrammetry on any device, and Gaussian splat capture. Scans process in the cloud and export to common formats including OBJ, GLTF and USDZ, plus point clouds and floor plans. It ...

What is RealityCapture?

RealityCapture, from Capturing Reality and owned by Epic Games, is a photogrammetry engine built around GPU-accelerated dense reconstruction, and its defining characteristic is speed — it processes very large image sets substantially faster than CPU-bound alternatives, which is what matters ...

What is Agisoft Metashape?

Agisoft Metashape builds dense point clouds, meshes, textures and survey-ready orthomosaics from photo sets, and is generally treated as the accuracy benchmark in this category. Its dense reconstruction offers configurable depth filtering and detailed control over each processing stage, which ...

What is Pix4Dmapper?

Pix4Dmapper converts drone and handheld imagery into point clouds, meshes, orthomosaics and digital surface models for surveying, construction and agriculture. Its distinguishing feature for professional delivery is the Quality Report it generates with every processing run, documenting ...

What is OpenDroneMap / WebODM?

OpenDroneMap is an open source toolkit that processes aerial imagery into point clouds, orthomosaics, elevation models and textured meshes, with WebODM providing a browser interface and project management on top of it. It can be self-hosted on your own hardware, which means no per-project ...

What is Propeller Aero?

Propeller Aero processes drone survey data into 3D site models and focuses squarely on what earthworks contractors and quarries actually need from them: stockpile volumes, cut and fill against design, progress tracking between surveys and measurements any site team member can take without ...

What is Autodesk ReCap Pro?

Autodesk ReCap Pro converts laser scan data and photographs into point clouds and meshes for use in AutoCAD, Revit and Civil 3D. Its value is less about reconstruction quality than about the handoff: getting scanned reality into a design model without a lossy conversion step is the awkward part ...

What is 3DF Zephyr?

3DF Zephyr from 3Dflow reconstructs 3D models from photographs and video, covering point cloud generation, meshing, texturing and measurement, with survey and aerial-specific editions above the base product. Its Free edition handles projects up to 50 photos with no watermark or time limit, ...
