While photogrammetrists have long used stereo imagery to produce surface models from aerial imagery, recent advances in Fireball's technology represent a major leap forward in overall surface quality and detail. These capabilities include processing large photogrammetric datasets into three dimensional, high resolution terrain surface models.
