As the resolution is not mentioned here, you may use Diva Gis whose datasets are available upto the resolution of one kilometre.

If you have a current version of ERDAS - the old, 'Leica Photogrammetry Suite' now called 'IMAGINE Photogrammetry' is packaged with it. It is supposedly suitable for close range photogrammetry but I have only ever used it for aerial/UAV imagery so that would be ranges of 100m +

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leica_Photogrammetry_Suite

You can use OpenDroneMap (http://opendronemap.github.io/odm/, https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap). I suggest to join their mailing list if you plan to use it. It does not have an official GUI yet, so one has to use command line but basic understanding of command line is enough.

I have been using Agisoft PhotoScan Pro for a couple of years now, on my PhD research. It is not free, but it is highly regarded. It provides a GUI environment, as well as batch mode, for repetitive workflows, and a Python API for more sophisticated/custom workflows and control.

I have been capturing video, with two HD camcorders, of a roughly 30 X 20 X 12 cm sample, at a range of ~ 0.5 m. I'm getting ~ 0.2 mm resolution on my DEMs with PhotoScan.

I use PhotoModeler for almost 15 years. You should be aware that there is a lot of "photogrammetric" software around that gives you quick results and no information about its accuracy. The point will be if you are interested in just visualization or need to do measurements. PhotoModeler gives you full control on what you do and what comes out (incl. accuracy).

I have used "PC Giant" since 1990 for my own research in close-range photogrammetry as well as "iWitness" since 2000.  I have published research as well as used both in Expert Witness Courtroom testimony.  Although "PC Giant" is older, (I wrote it), nowadays I prefer "iWitness" because it works in Windows, including point identification of the imagery.  ("PC Giant" only works in MS-DOS.)  "iWitness" does provide results of error propagation in terms of the  diagonals of the variance-covariance matrices of each computed point, but it does not (yet) give the eigenvector/eigenvalues of the solved points like 'PC Giant" does.  My old software, "PC Giant" requires TIFF files for imagery while the "iWindows" requires JPEG files for the imagery.  I prefer 'iWItness" since it is written by Dr. Clive Frasier a published Professor of Photogrammetry.  Clive also wrote "AUSTRALIS" which is the latest in professional-grade industrial photogrammetry and camera calibration.  Clive is a close associate with DBA Systems, Inc. which is the premier supplier of industrial photogrammetry in the world.  DBA Systems, Inc. was founded by (the late) Dr. Duane C. Brown, the Father of American Analytical Photogrammetry in the 1960s.  The DBA Systems, Inc. software "VSTARS" has prices that start in the six digits. "iWitness" is only about $3k and is intended primarily for simple digital cameras for close-range and forensic applications.  I also teach Photogrammetry at LSU with "iWitness."

I add my voice to Kavita and say that use PhotoMpdeler. I used it for quite some time and it is very good for close-range photogrammetric applications.

Photomodeler, photosynth, Australis

geomagic for the point cloud produced from TLS or handheld laser scanner,

In fact, there are many close-range photogrammetry software, and many are for free or for trial, such as :                                                                                                   Streetfactory(France), SSK(USA), Inpho(Trimble), Acute3D(France), Pix4D\PIX4UAV(Switzerland), PhotoScan(Russia), ImageModeler(Adobedesk), PhotoModeler(Cananda EOS), V-STARS(USA), LensPhoto(China), DPGrid(China), PixelGrid(China), MapMatrix(China) and so on.

Among them, I recommend: PhotoScan, PhotoModeler. They have the trial version, and the processing is highly automated and the performance is excel. You can have tray.

I do not recommend PhotoSynth for measurement purposes, for just visualization it maybe okay. 

I recommend Photo Modeler

You could obviously try the 'structure from motion' approach (like VisualSFM - http://ccwu.me/vsfm/) if you have more overlap than required in the in the classic photogrammetry. I haven't yet found a free software to create a complete workflow from lots or close range images to an othophoto.  Agisoft PhotoScan Pro is used by many of the UAV community i believe which is based on the SFM approach which should suit your close range. Good luck.

The Autodesk options of Catch123D and Recap 360 are useable but you need to be very careful with your methodology if you want to achieve high quality results. Photomodeler, iWitness, ShapeCapture and VisualSFM with SURE from IfP, Stuttgart all generate very good quality measurements.

Personally, I used PhotoModeler for quite some time and it is very good. This is the website for PhotoModeler:

this depends on what you plan to measure. For point clouds we also use agisoft professional as most people of UAV community.

But manuel stereomeasurements can be done very well using Photomod from racurs. There is a demo mode without restriction beside the maximum of images you can use (40). The hole classical photogrammetric workflow is integrated including topics like DEM, TIN, Orthoimage, Orthoimageblocks and also 3D stereomeasurements of vector data.

But be careful with imageacquisition configuration. Such classical photogrammetrical software mostly is much more restrictive than bundle adjustment and struture from motion tools concerning differences beetween scale (scale invariant) and rotations beetween images.

You should consider a very strikt flight plan....

There are some more expensive digital photgrammetrical workstations on the market, but i would try to use photomod checking the demo version "photomod lite" first...

You can use MicMac software :http://logiciels.ign.fr/?-Micmac,3-

It's a FOSS designed to scientific purposes.

Some protocols for acquisition and worklows are described here : http://www.tapenade.gamsau.archi.fr/TAPEnADe/Home.html

There's also a users and developpers forum : http://forum-micmac.forumprod.com

Here, an article with a good benchmark : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263465866_State_of_the_art_in_high_density_image_matching

Article State of the art in high density image matching

Thanks everyone for the great response. Looks like a few names pop up regularly so I will have a play with the trial versions. Looks like PhotoScan is the way I'll be headed at this stage.

Autodesk 123D Catch

Autodesk 123D Catch may be a choice, but for visualization only. PhotoModeler or Agisoft PhotoScan will give a much better and geometrically more accurate result.

Agisoft PhotoScan, Australis, Photomodeler

you can use these software based on your work (point clouds production, object analysis, ...).

Range is relative. The same software can be used for mountains to small flume experiments.

VisualSfM is wonderful, fast, and free - I've been able to match the resolution and accuracy of airborne lidar.

Agisoft Photoscan Pro is a staple in the photogrammetry world. It combines open-source SfM code with traditional photogrammetric optimization techniques; the best of both worlds you might say. It's commercial, not open source, but works well. Part of its popularity is that Agisoft offers student/research discounts.

There are many other options as well. Don't forget that your results may depend on computer hardware as much as software. Many software packages can take advantage of high-performance computing and are thus limited by low-performance levels as well. Point density is correlated with computation resources.

for the aerial UAV images i suggest Agisoft photoscanT pix4d and UAV master

for the close range applicatable i suggest australis, photomodeler

PhotoModeler, but it is not free except 30 days trial, wonderful one

Autodesk recap/ remake pro

I use iWitness from Dr. Clive Frasier in Australia. Not free, not particularly expensive, it is the best when you recognize that the mathematical foundation is heavily published in major journals. Most commercial stuff is 'black box' so user beware.
