nFrames GmbH SURE Aerial | Empowering Photogrammetry | Software
$ 0,00
SURE Aerial is specifically designed for aerial image datasets captured with large frame nadir cameras, oblique cameras and hybrid systems with additional LiDAR sensors. Without limitation in image resolution, it empowers the production of 3D Meshes, True Orthophotos, Point Clouds and Digital Surface Models on common workstation hardware and in cluster environments. Simple to set up and operate, SURE is compliant with mapping industry standards and accessible for web streaming technologies.
