Intelligent

photogrammetry

Agisoft
Agisoft Metashape is a cutting-edge software solution, with its engine core
driving photogrammetry to its ultimate limits, while the whole system is de-
signed to deliver industry specific results relying on machine learning techni-
ques for post-processing and analysis tasks.

The software allows to process images from RGB or multispectral cameras,

including multi-camera systems, into the high-value spatial information in
the form of dense point clouds, textured polygonal models, georeferenced
true orthomosaics and DSMs/DTMs. Further post-processing enables to eli-
minate shadows and texture artifacts from the models, calculate vegetation
indices and extract information for farming equipment action maps, auto-
matically classify dense point clouds, etc.

Terrestrial laser scanners support
Metashape 1.7 in addition to photogrammetric processing workflow of color
and multispectral images presents functionality to join terrestrial laser scanner
and camera data in one project.
Simultaneous adjustment of both laser scanner and camera positions
allows to combine LiDAR and photogrammetric depth maps, which enables
to benefit from LiDAR technology for interiors and photogrammetry for
exteriors and photorealistic textures. Seamless integration makes it
possible to apply full range of photogrammetric software tools to LiDAR
data: markers support and automatic targets detection for manual alignment
of scanner data, masking instruments to ignore unwanted objects, etc.
 Old depth maps: some thin
structures are missing

Improved depth maps

Metashape 1.7 includes new depth maps generation algorithm allowing to
preserve thin structures in reconstructed models while efficiently filtering
out noise on the final surface.

The algorithm, as most of the workflow steps, supports GPU-accelerated

processing and distributed operation over network.
Automatic powerlines detection
Metashape 1.7 features functionality to automatically detect powerlines on
the images and thus allows to perform large-scale powerlines inspection
projects without need to invest in LiDAR equipment. The results in a form of
a 3D polyline model for every wire can be exported for documentation and
analysis in industry-specific tools or used for obstacle avoidance by mission
planning algorithm within Metashape. Robustness of the results is ensured
with catenary curve fitting algorithm.
Agisoft Cloud
official release
We are proud to finally announce commercial release
of Agisoft Cloud platform with flexible subscriptions
including limited free plan for non-commercial use
and scalable pay-as-you-go plan for your professional
projects.
In line with Metashape 1.7 release Agisoft Cloud
functionality is extended with sharing processing results
option and embedding code generation tool to integrate
your models in any website.
Seamless orthomosaic
for Surveying & Mapping
Metashape is a perfect tool for aerial imagery processing. The functionality
of the program is being constantly developed according to the tasks set by
rapidly emerging UAS industry.

Metashape has proved to be a professional level post-processing tool capable

of dense point clouds generation and classification for further exceptionally
detailed DSMs/DTMs calculations and high-resolution seamless ortho-
mosaics export, not to mention reconstruction of precise polygonal models
of large scale objects. It is an indispensable part of GIS workflow starting with
a UAV system.
Highly accurate measurements
for Mining & Quarrying
Highly accurate DEMs produced by Metashape lay the grounds for precise
area and volume measurements, both for excavations and piles. Once multiple
flights performed at different time moments, Metashape allows for volume
change tracking, soil erosion and glacier studies.

Automatic non-coded targets detection capability saves up on manual work

in inspection projects done on a regular basis
Customized vegetation index calculation
for Precision Agriculture & Environmental
Management
With support for panchromatic, multispectral and thermal imagery, Metashape
seamlessly integrates into workflows involving processing of data from diverse
sources, like vegetation and soil analysis, fires and night studies, etc.

Vegetation indices calculation according to a user-defined formula allows to

analyze crop problems and generate prescriptions for variable rate farming
equipment.
Consumer camera support
for Archaeology & Documentation
Archaeology more and more often relies on photogrammetric approaches
today, be it a need to model an artifact or a demand for an excavation map-
ping.

Thanks to the capability to process imagery from any digital camera, Metashape
is widely used in various archaeological projects both up in the mountains and
deep under the water, including special researches like greenery pattern studies
to find ancient ruins under the ground or rock art documentation and analysis
projects.
Oblique imagery support
for Architecture & Cultural Heritage
Preservation
Numerous projects prove that Metashape is a quality tool to solve the tasks
of facade and building modeling.

With support for oblique imagery processing, Metashape allows to recon-

struct the whole building, which can be employed for virtual tours creation,
with reconstruction results being exhibited as illustrative models of large-
scale cultural heritage objects. 3D models of partially ruined monuments
and artifacts generated with Metashape present reliable basis for restoration
works thanks to exceptional accuracy of reconstruction results.

Photorealistic textures
for Visual Effects & Game Design
Thanks to being highly detailed and photorealistic, Metashape models meet
the strict requirements of professional animation studios, which successfully
employ the software for movie and game production.

Face and body capture results, being among the most demanded ones, prove
that Metashape potential goes beyond one’s imagination.
