What is 3DF Zephyr?
3DF Zephyr is a comprehensive photogrammetry solution designed to reconstruct 3D models automatically from photographs and video data. The software supports a wide range of cameras, lenses, and acquisition techniques, allowing users to process aerial and ground imagery, including spherical pictures, multispectral, and thermal + RGB data. It also integrates laser scan data for enhanced 3D scanning capabilities.
This versatile tool offers professional editing features, utilities like 3DF Masquerade and BIM integration, and tools for scaling, georeferencing, and calculating distances, volumes, and areas. Users can generate deliverables such as true orthophotos, DSM, DTMs, NDVI maps, sections, contour lines, and CAD drawings, exporting results in common file formats for various industries.
