Audience
Aerial survey firms, national mapping agencies, drone and infrastructure inspection providers, and defense geospatial teams producing large-scale 3D models and digital twins.
About PhotoMesh
PhotoMesh is photogrammetry software that processes aerial, drone, and ground imagery, video, and LiDAR into georeferenced 2D and 3D geospatial products. It generates textured 3D meshes, Gaussian splatting models, point clouds, true orthophotos, and digital surface and terrain models. Aerotriangulation, ground control points, quality reporting, and alignment with existing 3D data or LiDAR support repeat surveys, change detection, mapping, infrastructure engineering, and asset inspection. PhotoMesh handles large image collections and can distribute project processing across multiple fuser machines or cloud resources. It supports RGB, multispectral, and thermal imagery. Outputs include 3DML, 3D Tiles, I3S/SLPK, LAS, and GeoTIFF for GIS and 3D visualization workflows. REST APIs support production automation and project-queue management. The desktop software runs on Windows, with Linux support for fuser installations; a separate managed cloud-processing service is also available.

DroneMapper
DroneMapper provides two licensed versions of its desktop photogrammetry software, remote expert and rapid, as windows applications. Remote expert generates orthomosaics and dems at selectable imagery resolutions processing up to 10,000 images per project. Rapid provides the same functionality as remote expert and is limited to 250 images per project. Both versions are easily licensed either perpetually for remote expert or yearly for rapid. We are an innovative company specializing in photogrammetry and the extraction of value-added products from your imagery. We generate georeferenced Orthomosaics, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), point clouds, textured mesh 3D models and GIS products for a large set of market segments. We operate a Software as a Service (SaaS) system, provide licensed desktop software, conduct manned and unmanned aerial imagery collections and provide consultation and training specific for your application(s).

ContextCapture
Create 3D models from simple photographs and/or point clouds. Reality modeling is the process of capturing the physical reality of an infrastructure asset, creating a representation of it, and maintaining it through continuous surveys. Bentley's reality modeling software, ContextCapture, provides you with real-world digital context in the form of a 3D reality mesh. A reality mesh is a 3D model of real-world conditions that contains large amounts of triangles and image data. Each digital component can be automatically recognized and/or geospatially referenced, providing you with an intuitive and immersive way to navigate, find, view, and query your asset information. You can use reality meshes in many engineering, maintenance, or GIS workflows to provide precise real-world digital context for design, construction, and operations decisions. Overlapping photos from drones and ground-level imagery, supplemented by laser scans where needed.

DroneFTP
DroneFTP is a pay-as-you-go cloud photogrammetry processing service for drone pilots, surveyors, engineers, GIS professionals, environmental consultants, and construction teams. Users upload drone imagery through a simple web-based workflow, and DroneFTP handles the computationally intensive processing in the cloud. Deliverables include georeferenced orthomosaics, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), LAZ point clouds, and contours for use in GIS, CAD, surveying, engineering, construction, and environmental workflows. DroneFTP eliminates the need for expensive dedicated processing workstations and recurring photogrammetry software subscriptions. It can also provide supplemental processing capacity for firms experiencing workload spikes. Photogrammetry processing starts at $10 per GB with no monthly or annual subscription required.

MapperTool
MapperTool is cloud photogrammetry software that turns drone images into georeferenced orthomosaics, digital surface and terrain models, 3D point clouds, thermal maps and NDVI vegetation maps. Users upload imagery in a browser, select outputs, monitor processing, and review, measure and share results in an online map viewer. Exports include formats such as GeoTIFF, JPG and LAZ for GIS and CAD workflows. Surveyors, drone service providers, construction and earthwork teams, inspectors, and agricultural users can use the maps for site documentation, elevation and volume analysis, thermal inspection and crop-health review. Optional object-counting and solar-inspection tools support map-based review. The free tier has project and image limits; paid subscriptions provide higher image allowances, longer project access and additional features. MapperTool runs online and does not require installed photogrammetry software.
