Nowadays, we frequently discuss photogrammetric software running on more or less powerful computers. These softwares are increasingly marketed in large numbers. Using automation digital photogrammetry softwares have admittedly made the entire photogrammetric process much easier, where the operator is only supervising and controlling the results. But these solutions are still expensive to a lot of users. In this sense, the open source softwares are being continuously developed and improved to achieve the quality provided by commercial solutions. This work aims to study and evaluate two open source solutions, E-foto and MicMac, compared to commercial solutions. Based on the obtained results, we concluded that the open source E-foto and MicMac gave very satisfactory results compared to the commercial softwares, this performance is more remarkable in the solution developed by the IGN.
