With the rapid development of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tilt photography technology, UAV tilt photography modeling technology plays the immense role of digital cities construction. Even more, it gradually replaces the traditional 3D modeling technology with its application value of high ef ciency, low cost, and high precision. At present, Smart 3D Capture, AgisoftPhotoScan, and Pix4Dmapper are three commonly used tilt photography modeling software in the industry. Combining with the case of Shecun in Nanjing, the paper used three software to reconstruct site topography. It used the actual project in the same data conditions to compare the difference in maneuverability, operation time, model quality, and some other ways. This comparison will provide a reference for selecting oblique photography modeling software in design.
