The NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline is a suite of automated geodesy & stereogrammetry tools designed for processing planetary imagery captured from orbiting and landed robotic explorers on other planets.
I sped up a lot point2dem's hole-filling of ortho images. The problem now is that one should turn off outlier filtering for hole-filling to work. This is specific to ortho images, and does not affect hole-filling in DEMs (this is documented). It looks like a simple problem to do it right, the complications come from the existing code framework and desire to both be able to process large images and make it fast. Some refactoring of the code need to be done to get this process completely right.
