Desktop Digital Photogrammetry System (DDPS)
As 3D Mapper 3D aerial photogrammetry software says “DDPS does not require special photogrammetric skills to generate products such as digital elevations models (DEMs), orthoimages and 3D vector information.” DDPS can be used to produce intermediate deliverables, such as epipolar (rectified images) files which extends the range of products that you may offer your clients. The DDPS operates on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, and is available as a complete system or as individual modules depending on your needs.There are four software modules available in DDPS, namely, OrthoMaker, StereoMaker, StereoMapper, and ImageViewer.
