Agisoft Metashape is a leading photogrammetry software that transforms digital images into precise 3D models and georeferenced spatial data. Designed for a wide range of applications, including GIS, cultural heritage documentation, and visual effects production, Metashape offers advanced tools for professionals seeking high-quality 3D reconstructions. Its robust processing capabilities ensure accurate results, making it an essential tool for industries that require detailed spatial analysis.
One of the key features of Metashape is its ability to process images from various sources, such as aerial platforms, handheld cameras, and multi-camera systems. This flexibility allows users to generate dense point clouds, textured polygonal models, and digital elevation models (DEMs) with ease. The software's support for multispectral and thermal imagery processing further enhances its applicability in fields like agriculture and environmental monitoring, where analyzing different data layers is crucial.
Metashape's user-friendly interface streamlines the workflow, enabling users to perform photogrammetric triangulation, dense point cloud generation, and 3D model creation efficiently. Advanced editing tools, such as point cloud classification and automatic powerline detection, facilitate precise analysis and feature extraction. Additionally, the software supports batch processing and Python scripting, allowing for automation and customization to meet specific project requirements.
The software's output capabilities are extensive, offering export options in various formats, including popular 3D formats like OBJ, FBX, and 3DS, as well as standard GIS formats for orthomosaics and DEMs. This ensures seamless integration with other tools and platforms used in professional workflows. Metashape also provides features for generating photorealistic textures, hierarchical tiled models, and even 4D modeling for dynamic scene reconstruction, catering to a broad spectrum of project needs.
Agisoft offers Metashape in different licensing options to accommodate various user requirements. The Standard Edition is suitable for creative projects and interactive media tasks, providing essential features for 3D model generation and texturing. The Professional Edition is tailored for GIS professionals, offering advanced photogrammetric processing capabilities, georeferencing, and support for multispectral imagery. Both editions are available as node-locked licenses, with the Professional Edition also offering floating licenses for flexible deployment across multiple workstations.

Operating Systems
Agisoft Metashape runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux operating systems.
RAM
In most cases, the maximum project size that can be processed on a machine is limited by the amount of RAM available. Therefore, it is important to select a platform that allows the amount of RAM required for the projects to be processed to be installed.
CPU
The complex geometry reconstruction algorithms of photogrammetric software require a significant amount of computational resources for optimal data processing. Therefore, a high-speed multi-core CPU (6+ cores, 3 GHz+) is recommended.
GPU
Agisoft Metashape supports GPU acceleration for most resource-intensive processing steps, due to which it is possible to accelerate processing using high-end OpenCL or CUDA-compatible graphics cards with a large number of unified shaders (CUDA cores or shader processing units).
Basic Configuration
- up to 32 GB RAM (Laptop or Desktop)
- CPU: 4 - 12 cores Intel, AMD or Apple M1/M2 processor, 2.0+ GHz
- RAM: 16 - 32 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA or AMD GPU with 1024+ unified shaders (For example: GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5600M)
Advanced Configuration
- up to 128 GB RAM (Desktop or Workstation)
- CPU: 6 – 32 cores Intel or AMD processor, 3.0+ GHz (For example: Intel i7 / i9 or AMD Ryzen 7 / Ryzen 9 / Threadripper)
- RAM: 32 – 128 GB
- GPU: 1 – 2 NVIDIA or AMD GPUs with 1920+ unified shaders (For example: GeForce RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 6800 XT)
Extreme Configuration
- 128+ GB RAM (Server)
- For processing of extremely large data sets a dual-socket Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC based servers (3.0+ GHz) with Quadro, Tesla, Radeon Pro or Instinct GPUs can be used.
