Question: Is there a software that uses photogrammetry to create precise 3D models for urban planning and surveying?

PIX4D is a full-featured photogrammetry software suite that captures, processes and analyzes drone and camera imagery to generate maps and 3D models. Products are available for specific industries like surveying and construction, and it offers flexible processing options, collaboration tools and a 15-day free trial. That makes it a good option for pros and companies that need accurate 3D models for urban planning and surveying.

Another option is RealityCapture. The software automatically generates textured 3D meshes, orthographic projections and other output from photos and laser scans. It's a good option for detailed 3D models of historic sites, landmarks and buildings, and photorealistic environments for movies, games and other purposes. RealityCapture has flexible pricing, including a free version, so it's good for pros and enthusiasts.

If you want more advanced features, Agisoft Metashape has more advanced photogrammetric processing abilities. It can generate 3D spatial data from digital images, and it can handle a variety of image sources, including aerial and satellite imagery. It's good for GIS, cultural heritage and surveying, with features like dense point cloud generation and georeferenced orthomosaics. It also has pro-level abilities like 4D modeling and hierarchical tiled model generation.

Last, AliceVision is a photogrammetric computer vision framework that reconstructs 3D scenes and tracks cameras from overlapping 2D images. That's good for building accurate, detailed 3D models from photos or video frames, which can be useful for urban planning, surveying and other uses.
