Agisoft Metashape — formerly known as Agisoft Photoscan — is a professional photogrammetry software that is a popular choice for GIS applications, cultural heritage documentation, game development, and visual effects production. It is suitable for both close-range photogrammetry and aerial photogrammetry.
The program includes comprehensive tools for editing the point cloud before generating a 3D mesh. This includes automatic classifications of point clouds to customize geometry reconstruction. Meaning, the photogrammetry software can distinguish between diverse objects like buildings and trees, allowing you to filter them.
Along with the fresh name, Metashape improves the processing time and quality of captures over previous iterations of the program, using community-driven data to improve its algorithms and machine learning. Over time, in theory, it will continue to improve the more its users use the program.
Also, extensive measurement tools enable mining companies, surveyors, and others to conduct volumetric measurements. Among the other stunning features is the possibility of editing 4D models, which means entire scenes can be recorded in 3D and manipulated.
