Resumo:

The E-FOTO project aims to develop an educational, digital photogrammetric workstation, under the General Public License (GNU/GPL). E-FOTO software does not intend to overcome commercial software solutions in its field. Its main purpose is to provide a software solution that could be used by anyone who is interested in learning digital photogrammetry. E-FOTO users are offered access to practical software applications of theoretical issues and concepts in the field of Digital Photogrammetry. The project also has an Internet home page from which aerial photographs, camera calibration certificates and other technical data can be downloaded, thus allowing users to fully experience the software. The webpage also provides access to different articles and publications derived from the project development. This paper will report the experiences and results of the development of E-FOTO, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the only academic, GNU/GPL software development initiative for Digital Photogrammetry in the world.
