Agisoft Metashape (previously known as Agisoft PhotoScan[1]) is a professional tool for a photogrammetry pipeline. The software is available in Standard and Pro versions, the standard version is sufficient for interactive media tasks, while the Pro version is designed for authoring GIS content. The software is developed by Agisoft LLC located in St. Petersburg in Russia.

It is widely used by archaeologists. Many UAV companies are also using it.

Photogrammetric triangulation

Processing of various types of imagery: aerial (nadir, oblique) & close-range.

Auto calibration: frame (incl. fisheye), spherical & cylindrical cameras.

Multi camera projects support.



Dense point cloud: editing and classification

Elaborate model editing for accurate results.

Points classification to customize geometry reconstruction.

.LAS export to benefit from classical point data processing workflow.



Georeferenced orthomosaic export

Georeferenced orthomosaic: most-GIS-compatible GeoTIFF format; .KML file to be located on Google Earth.

Export in blocks for huge projects.

Color correction for homogeneous texture.


Ground control points: high accuracy surveying

GCPs import to control accuracy of the results.

Coded/non-coded targets auto detection for fast GCPs input.

Scale bar tool to set reference distance without implementation of positioning equipment.

Python scripts: customize processing workflow

In addition to Batch processing — a way to save on human intervention, Python scripting use byCube-fly to perform high end quality.

a parameters template for several similar data sets; intermediate processing results inspection; etc.

3D model: generation and texturing

Various scenes: archaeological sites, artifacts, buildings, interiors, people, etc.

Direct upload Sketchfab resource and export to varios popular formats.

Photorealistic textures: HDR and multifile support.
