   I  found a web page for photomodeler It may help you with your project,
 the url is   http://www.telemark.net/eos/index.html  This is what they 
 say about their product. I have not tried it but am interested. 
 If you review it please let me know what  you think.
 
" PhotoModeler is a Windows program that helps you extract3D data,
3D models, and 3D measurements from photographs.  Any object that can be 
photographed can be modeled and the models are dimensionally accurate and  
detailed. To use PhotoModeler, overlapping photos are taken of a scene or
an object.  The photos are digitized and displayed on the computer screen
and the operator marks features of interest by tracing over the photos
with the mouse.  When the photos have been marked, the operator selects 
"Process" from the menu and PhotoModeler makes a 3D model from the marked
photos.  The marks on the photos become points, lines or surfaces in a single
three dimensional space.  After a model has been produced, accurate 
measurements
can be taken from it and models can be exported to 3D graphics and CAD
programs."

    I also think it is able to pull color and texture from the  photos and 
apply
them to the model.
