Just yesterday I was looking at a catalog geared toward graphics
designers and caught an ad for a program that will allow you to
generate polygon meshes for 3d modeling from "several" images taken
at different positions. It mentions that it can do corrections for
perspective. It's also pretty pricey :-)

Unfortunately I don't have that here at the office any longer. Does
anyone who of this particular package?
