Evolution of Photogrammetry: From Manual to Automatic

Photogrammetry has evolved significantly over the years. Initially, it involved manually matching points in photographs to create 3D models. Then, software like RealViz and tracking tools made the process more automated. This led to the emergence of applications like Metashape and RealityCapture, which can generate 3D models using a large set of photos. The incorporation of LiDAR data further improved the accuracy and detail of the models. The advent of smartphones with built-in LiDAR and high-resolution cameras has made photogrammetry even more accessible and efficient.
