Agisoft - Version Metashape 2.1 -Cutting-Edge Software
Agisoft Metashape — Intelligent photogrammetry enhanced with LiDAR data processing. Agisoft Metashape is a cutting-edge software solution, with its engine being continuously developed to implement recent scientific advancements in the field of photogrammetry. 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 photogrammetric point clouds, textured polygonal models, georeferenced true orthomosaics and DSMs/DTMs. Images can be co-processed with LiDAR points to exploit advantages of both data sources. Further postprocessing enables to eliminate shadows and texture artifacts from the models, calculate vegetation indices and extract information for farming equipment action maps, automatically classify dense point clouds, etc.
Very fast & highly accurate
Based on the state-of-the-art technology developed by Agisoft, Metashape allows for very fast processing, providing at the same time consistent and highly accurate results both for aerial and close-range photography (up to 3cm for aerial, and up to 1mm for close-range photography), as well as for LiDAR data based surface reconstruction.
Local or cloud processing
Agisoft Metashape is capable of processing of 50 000+ photos across a local cluster, thanks to distributed processing functionality. Alternatively, the project can be easily sent to the cloud to minimize hardware investment, with all the processing options being still available.
Intuitive UI & stereo mode
The software package has a linear project-based workflow that is intuitive and can be easily mastered even by a non-specialist, while professional photogrammetrists can benefit from advanced features like stereo mode and have complete control over the results accuracy, with detailed report being generated at the end of processing.
Metashape 2.1 allows to automatically register LiDAR point clouds based on local geometry features without using color information that can be missing or inaccurate. LiDAR point clouds can also be aligned with images using combination of 3D and 2D tie points in the adjustment process, provided that color information is present. In case external registration data is available, initial point cloud positions can be fixed and preserved during alignment.
Metashape 2.1 includes a new point cloud smoothing tool that allows to automatically reduce noise in the LiDAR data collected using low-cost LiDAR systems. Point cloud smoothing tool can be applied to selected area of the LiDAR point cloud or to specific point classes.
When trajectory data is available, Metashape 2.1 allows to split point cloud into adjacent strips according to the user specified criteria, like range of heading or altitude change. Selected trajectory segments can be further edited by the user or filtered out if necessary.
