International Technology Transfer Corporation

What International Technology Transfer Corporation does

International Technology Transfer Corporation (ITTC) is a privately held Japanese technology company founded in April 1992 and headquartered in Kobe, with a regional office in Tokyo. The company develops and sells 3D measurement hardware and software, with its core product line being the patented PhotoCalc series of photogrammetry tools. PhotoCalc software enables accurate 3D measurement (1/3,000 to 1/10,000 of object size) using only standard consumer cameras — smartphones, DSLRs, or compact cameras — rather than specialized laser scanners. The suite includes TwoView and SingleView measurement products, the TwoViewServer and SingleView Rectified Image Server (cloud/browser-based measurement services), iWitnessPRO (fully automatic textured 3D modeling), Align3D (point cloud processing), Camera Calibrator, and a Football Tracker service. The company also resells iWitness/XYZen from Australia's Photometrix and integrates with Kreon Technologies' 3D scanners from France.

ITTC serves enterprise and government customers primarily in Japan across seven verticals: construction and civil engineering (its largest vertical), automotive manufacturing, railway, healthcare/dental, sports analytics, automotive safety/autonomous driving, and industrial security. Named reference customers include IHI Infrastructure and the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, with whom ITTC participated in the Cabinet Office PRISM program (2019-2020) and received an 'A' overall evaluation. Revenue is generated through a mix of perpetual software licenses, recurring cloud/server subscriptions (shared, dedicated, and on-premise tiers), hardware resale (MicroScribe digitizers, calibration plates), and bespoke professional/contract measurement services. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct enterprise engagement and trade-show participation in Japan, supplemented by a multi-language website (Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Arabic), a download center with trial software, and online consultation booking.

Products and services

• PhotoCalc TwoView Photogrammetry software that performs 3D measurement from two digital camera images, featuring automatic marker matching, calibration plate support, and crack detection. A 3D model creation capability was added in October 2025, and dedicated piping measurement (2026-02-24) and catenary measurement (2026-02-20) modules were launched in 2026. Sold to enterprises in construction, civil engineering, and railway inspection.
• PhotoCalc SingleView Photogrammetry software that measures hole diameter, hole position, and distances from a single digital camera image. Used by manufacturing and automotive customers for quality inspection.
• PhotoCalc SingleView3D Real-time 3D measurement software using a single camera video stream; mobile-object 3D measurement version was released December 2025. Used for in-motion 3D capture scenarios.
• PhotoCalc+ Advanced photogrammetry software in the PhotoCalc series for industrial 3D measurement applications.
• TwoViewServer Cloud-based stereo 3D measurement server system accessible via web browser that calculates 3D coordinates from two uploaded photographs. Offered in three tiers: shared server, dedicated server, and on-premise deployment. PhotoCalc Web3D Viewer release was announced June 2026.
• iWitnessPRO Fully automatic photogrammetric software that generates 3D models with colored texture without requiring coded targets by automatically detecting characteristic points and matching them across images.
• Align3D Point cloud and polygon processing software for creating 3D models from photogrammetry scan data.
• Camera Calibrator Professional lens distortion correction software that calculates and corrects inherent lens parameters (focal length, optical axis center error, radial and tangential distortion) to enable high-precision 3D measurements.
• Football Tracker AI-based sports tracking service that measures player positions, ball movement, team formations, and running distances from match video footage. Offered as a commissioned measurement data generation service rather than installed software.
• MicroScribe 3D Digitizer Hardware 3D digitizer product sold alongside ITTC software for touch-probe-based 3D coordinate capture in industrial measurement workflows.
• XYZen (Photometrix) Photogrammetry measurement software from Australian partner Photometrix, distributed by ITTC in Japan for 3D modeling applications.

Direct peers

• 3Dflow: Italian vendor of 3DF Zephyr photogrammetry software for reconstruction from images and video. Direct competitor in the photogrammetry/3D-from-photos space ITTC occupies, including inspection and reverse-engineering workflows.
• Pix4D: Swiss photogrammetry software vendor (Pix4Dmapper) used across construction, surveying, and agriculture. Direct competitor to ITTC's PhotoCalc series for image-based 3D measurement and point cloud generation, with significantly larger global install base.
• Creaform (AMETEK): Canada-based provider of portable 3D scanners (HandySCAN, MetraSCAN) and software (VXelements) for industrial measurement. Competitor to ITTC in 3D measurement for manufacturing quality control, automotive, and reverse engineering, with a strong hardware-software bundle.
• Photometrix: Australian developer of iWitness and XYZen photogrammetry software that ITTC resells in Japan. Directly competes with ITTC's PhotoCalc line in target use cases such as close-range photogrammetry and 3D modeling from photographs.
• Agisoft: Developer of Metashape, a widely used photogrammetry tool that converts 2D images into 3D models. Overlaps directly with ITTC's image-to-3D workflow and serves similar surveying, AEC, and cultural heritage customers.
• Capturing Reality (Epic Games): Slovenia-based creator of RealityCapture, a photogrammetry engine now under Epic Games, used in VFX, gaming, AEC, and surveying. Competes with ITTC's iWitnessPRO-style automatic 3D model generation and serves many of the same industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Inc. US-based provider of geospatial, construction, and surveying technologies with Trimble Business Center and eCognition. Comparable to ITTC in construction/infrastructure measurement workflows, with a much broader AEC software portfolio.
• Hexagon AB: Global metrology and geospatial giant (Leica Geosystems, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence) offering photogrammetry, laser scanning, and industrial measurement suites. Operates broadly across all of ITTC's verticals with much greater scale and an integrated hardware/software stack.
• Topcon Corporation: Japan-headquartered competitor in surveying, construction, and precision measurement instrumentation. Most direct Japanese incumbent to ITTC, with overlapping channels into construction and infrastructure customers.

Emerging players

• OpenSpace: US-based construction technology company using 360-degree cameras and AI to create visual records of jobsites, with comparable image-based documentation workflows for construction. More software/AI-platform focused than ITTC but overlaps on photo-driven construction productivity use cases.
