These programs allow one to make models from photographs (it's helpful if
the photos are taken systematically, the documentation explains this...)
Require much human input, but moderately priced.

There are others of this sort, e.g., Canoma by MetaCreations

Also, visit the site of the annual French conference on these topics:

And a company with an interesting application of this tech (not quite what
you're looking for, but they could do it, if you had the money.)

Also, see my next post about Orphan Tech

Hope this helps.
