The demand for multi-dimensional reconstruction of cultural heritage images, archeological artifacts, and heritage sites has grown significantly, driven by factors such as climate change and the need to preserve endangered sites. Traditional approaches often rely on accurate and precise metadata information, which can be difficult to obtain and prone to errors. In this paper, we present an improved version of, an open, cross-platform, effective, and extensible GUI annotation tool for large photogrammetric imagery analysis. The enhanced EpiX features a more user-friendly interface, faster processing times, and an additional triangulation method that can be used alone or in conjunction with the existing epipolar method. This updated tool maintains its focus on exploiting the geometric features of epipolar lines while offering increased versatility and efficiency. We demonstrate the applicability of EpiX Enhanced for various research purposes, including ground truth collection and 3D distance measurement in high-resolution, high-throughput wide-area format video, also known as wide-area motion imagery (WAMI).
