A Comprehensive Review and Comparative Analysis of Photogrammetry Software Tools
摘要
The science of photogrammetry has been developing rapidly in recent years. With the rise of tools adopting this science and the advancement of computer vision technologies, the potential of such software is being acknowledged by researchers and integrated by market professionals into various fields. To cope with the rapid changes and expanding range of photogrammetry tools, a methodology was developed to identify the most widely adopted software tools, whether open-source or commercial, by the research community and market professionals. This resulted in the identification of 37 tools for which we developed a comprehensive review and supported our findings through visualizations such as pie charts and graphs. Furthermore, a comparison between the tools was carried out based on seven different attributes describing them, in order to assist professionals and individuals in picking software for specific use cases.
