Abstract
The recent developments in automated image processing for 3D reconstruction purposes have led to the diffusion of low-cost and open-source solutions which can be nowadays used by everyone to produce 3D models. The level of automation is so high that many solutions are black-boxes with poor repeatability and low reliability. The article presents an investigation of automated image orientation packages in order to clarify potentialities and performances when dealing with large and complex datasets.
