Eos Systems is releasing the latest version of its Photomodeler software. Photomodeler 6 is the result of three years of development to enhance the already well-acclaimed version 5.

Photomodeler automates the science of ‘photogrammetry’ – measurement from photographs.

The PC-based application enables objects to be measured accurately and photorealistic 3D computer models to be generated.

The versatile tool has been adopted across a wide variety of industries, including engineering, scientific, accident reconstruction and architecture, as well as film and game production.

In PM6, Eos Systems has added a powerful new ‘Shapes’ function for working with geometric solids and it provides a new, flexible means to export results into other software. The KMZ export format allows users to upload textured building models into the popular 3D globe application Google Earth, or utilise the Google Earth’s 3D environment as a background for presenting a Photomodeler analysis of real-world scenes. Automatic processing of reference points now occurs in the background, which greatly speeds 3D model generation. PM6 also offers new printing and output options, an automated camera library, and Idealize, a module that removes lens distortion from photographs for high-end film and animation projects.
