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 customise geometry reconstruction.

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

Georeferenced orthomosaic generation

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

Export in blocks for huge projects.

Colour correction for homogeneous texture.

Measurements of distances, areas, volumes

Inbuilt tools to measure distances, areas and volumes

To perform more sophisticated metric analysis Metashape products can be smoothly transferred to external tools thanks to a variety of export formats.

Digital elevation model: DSM/DTM generation

Digital Surface and/or Digital Terrain Model — depending on the project.

Georeferncing based on EXIF meta data/flight log: GPS/GCPs data.

EPSG registry coordinate systems support: WGS84, UTM, etc.

Ground control points / scale bar support

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.

Stereoscopic measurements

Professional 3D monitors and 3D controllers support for accurate and convenient stereoscopic vectorization of features and measurement purposes.

Hierarchical tiled model generation

City scale modeling preserving the original image resolution for texturing.

Cesium publishing.

4D modeling for dynamic scenes

Multi-camera station data processing for creative projects in cinemato- graphic art, game industry, etc.

Basis for numerous visual effects with 3D models reconstructed in time sequence.

Panorama stitching

3D reconstruction for data captured from the same camera position — camera station, provided that at least 2 camera stations are present.

360° panorama stitching for one camera station data.

Multispectral imagery processing

RGB/NIR/thermal/multispectral imagery processing.

Fast reconstruction based on preferable channel.

Multichannel orthomosaic generation for built-in vegetation indices (NDVI) calculation and export.

Satellite imagery processing

Common processing workflow for panchromatic and multispectral satellite images is supported, provided that sufficiently accurate RPC data is available for each image.

Python and Java API

In addition to Batch processing — a way to save on human intervention, Python scripting suggests customisation options: a parameters template for several similar data sets; intermediate processing results inspection; etc.

Network processing

Distributed calculations over a computer network.

Combine the power of multiple nodes for unparalleled processing power.

Cloud processing

Cloud processing interface allows to save on the hardware infrastructure for photogrammetric pipeline, with further option to visualise and share the variety of the processing results online with colleagues or customers.
