Our verdict on PHOTOMOD
PHOTOMOD is Racurs’ digital photogrammetry system for processing aerial, satellite and unmanned-aircraft imagery. It is aimed at mapping, cadastral work, forestry, mining, remote sensing, education and research organizations that need a broad production workflow rather than a single-purpose UAV tool. The system covers phototriangulation and block adjustment, terrain and surface models, orthophotos, dense point clouds, vectorization and 3D modeling.
The product line spans several use cases. PHOTOMOD Lite is a full-featured educational and testing version for local files and non-commercial use. GeoCalculator Pro focuses on coordinate conversion, transformation and datum parameter calculation, with a web-map window. AutoUAS provides fully automatic UAV processing with DSM, true orthophoto and 3D-model generation, while PHOTOMOD UAS adds a full UAV workflow with phototriangulation, orthophoto, point-cloud and 3D-model outputs. The full local package includes the Core, AT, SolverA, SolverS, DTM, dDSM, Mosaic, StereoDraw and 3D-Mod modules, plus one year of technical support.
Pricing places PHOTOMOD toward established production teams: the listed starting price is 22,000 Russian rubles, and the published plans are generally supplied as perpetual licenses. Linux licenses cost 50% more than Windows licenses. Beyond core reconstruction, the system supports LAS/LAZ export, ground-control and check-data workflows, 2D and 3D vectorization, distributed network processing and PHOTOMOD Neuro for neural-network point-cloud classification. Choose PHOTOMOD when you need a wide photogrammetry toolset and multiple deployment options. Choose an alternative if you need a lower-cost commercial entry point or a narrower, simpler workflow.
