We are exploring the possibility of turning Photogrammar into software where one could use an image collection of their choice. This includes selecting the proper map for the data. Would you be interested in using this software? Please let us know! All feedback is appreciated.
Have a collection of images? Would you use a software package based on Photogrammar.org on another collection? If so, please let us know! We are exploring ways to make this possible and gauging interest!
