Is there any good open source or free Photogrammetry software? I'd like to take a few photographs (two or more) of small areas (small forested park lands) with a calibration/reference object in the frame (if need be) and extract points and lines from the images.

Since I'll be using it to make maps, I don't need anything automatic; I want to be able to pick out specific points and lines by clicking on the point in each image.

There are packages that (for example) are used in car accident reconstruction, but they are expensive, and I don't require full automation. Most of the open source packages I've found are for large scale automatic photogrammetry.

Have you already looked at insight3d? I experimented with it a few months ago and didn't have that much luck, but it might be worth a shot.

I don't know if it will work for you but ImageJ has a huge range of plugins to do many scientific analysis tasks and its free.
