Professional edition only: integration with terrestrial laser scans, automatic identification of power lines Other performance improvements support for out-of-core processing for point cloud data, making it faster to process data sets too large to fit into GPU memory and the option to downscale textures.Ĭhanges significant to integrating Metashape into production pipelines include support for Python 3.8. Users also report that time taken to generate depth maps is significantly shorter. You can see a side-by-side comparison with the previous release at 01:10 in the video above. Key changes in Metashape 1.7 include a new algorithm for generating depth maps, intended to result in more fine detail and less noise in the resulting 3D model. New in Metashape 1.7: better depth map generation, out-of-core processing on GPUs Last year, with Agisoft’s growing focus on aerial surveys in the Professional edition of the software, the product was renamed Metashape. The resulting dense point clouds or 3D meshes can be exported in a range of standard formats, including OBJ, FBX, Alembic and glTF, with HDR textures and support for UDIMs. Originally known as PhotoScan, Agisoft’s software quickly became popular among games and VFX artists to generate 3D scans of people or objects from reference photos. The photogrammetry tool formerly known as PhotoScan Users of the Professional edition, aimed at aerial surveys, get integration with terrestrial laser scan data, automatic detection of power lines, and a new system to automatically mask blurred areas of source images. Agisoft has released Metashape 1.7, the latest version of its photogrammetry software, introducing a new depth map generation algorithm to better reconstruct thin objects.
