The NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline is a suite of free and open source automated geodesy and stereogrammetry tools designed for processing stereo images captured from satellites (around Earth and other planets), robotic rovers, aerial cameras, and historical images, with and without accurate camera pose information. It produces cartographic products, including digital terrain models, ortho‐projected images, 3‐D models, and bundle‐adjusted networks of cameras. Ames Stereo Pipeline's data products are suitable for science analysis, mission planning, and public outreach.
