Photogrammetry allows generating 3D data from images.
Free photogrammetry software:
- Meshroom - I use this. Currently requires Nvidia graphics, but work is being done on that.

A good freeware overhead photogrammetry is NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline
You’re now appointed as a mod. I hope you don’t mind if I also copy your sidebar text here, since it was quite a bit better than mine.
Nope, took that sidebar for Reddit anyway.
I got into photogrammetry earlier this year and was sad to see that Meshroom could only work on CUDA graphics cards. I found a fork of meshroom called MeshroomCL, that had some of the features ported over to opencl. However I had issues with getting “Camera: Not Reconstructed” errors on images.
I probably should have looked into other non cuda alternatives, but ended up buying a new GPU instead. My previous one was 7 years old, so it was time for an upgrade regardless. The regular version of meshroom is working fine, as long as I capture enough images of the target object.
I’d like to mention OpenDroneMap, I’ve used it twice with drone footage and got good results!
