There are several products out there. We use one called Photomodeler. It's based on phogrammetry - essentially numerous stereo pair photographs to create measured 3D models. It's used for architectural restoration, crime screens, plant engineering, etc. The same points are identified on various photographs and the computer relates that to a point in 3D space. Surface maps can also be extracted. The software is under $1,000.00 and it's relatively easy to use. Joe Trepicone IVPT
