Agisoft Metashape is a stand-alone
software product that performs photogrammetric processing of digital images (aerial and close-range
photography, satellite imagery) and generates 3D spatial data to be used in GIS applications, cultural
heritage documentation, and visual effects production as well as for indirect measurements of objects of various
scales. The technology also allows to work with laser scans and to combine data from LiDAR and camera
in the same project.
The software allows to process
images from RGB, thermal or multispectral cameras, including multicamera
systems, as well as structured terrestrial laser scans and unstructured
aerial laser scans into the spatial information in the form
of point clouds, textured polygonal models, georeferenced true orthomosaics and DSMs/DTMs. Further
post-processing enables to eliminate shadows and texture artifacts from the models, calculate
vegetation indices and extract information for farming equipment action maps, automatically classify point
clouds, etc. Metashape is capable of processing of 50 000+ photos across a local cluster, thanks to
distributed processing functionality. Alternatively, the project can be sent
to the cloud to minimize hardware
investment, with all the processing options being still available. Wisely implemented digital photogrammetry
technique enforced with computer vision methods results in smart automated processing system that,
on the one hand, can be managed by a new-comer in the field of photogrammetry, yet, on the other
hand, has a lot to offer to a specialist who can benefit from advanced features like stereoscopic mode and
have complete control over the results accuracy, with detailed report being generated at the end of
processing.

System requirements
Minimal configuration
- Windows 7 SP 1 or later (64 bit), Windows Server
2008 R2 or later (64 bit), macOS High Sierra or later, Debian/Ubuntu
with GLIBC 2.19+ (64 bit)
- Intel Core 2 Duo processor or equivalent
- 8 GB of RAM
Recommended configuration
- Windows 7 SP 1 or later (64 bit), Windows Server
2008 R2 or later (64 bit), macOS Mojave or later, Debian/Ubuntu with
GLIBC 2.19+ (64 bit)
- Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 processor
- Discrete NVIDIA or AMD GPU (4+ GB VRAM)
- 32 GB of RAM
The number of photos that can be
processed by Metashape depends on the available RAM and
reconstruction parameters used.
Assuming that a single photo resolution is of the order of 10 MPix, 4 GB
RAM is sufficient to make a model
based on 30 to 50 photos. 16 GB RAM will allow to process up to
300-500 photographs.
