What is the OPF?
OPF stands for ‘open photogrammetry format’ - a new standard in photogrammetry, aimed at exchange and collaboration.
OPF is a specification for a flexible and extensible format that stores all of the data related to a reconstructed 3D model made with photogrammetry. It is an open, standardized, and free file format.
