Agisoft Metashape is a digital photogrammetry software application that is used for turning drone-collected photographs into high-quality maps and 3D models. This exercise will walk through the basics of how to use Metashape.
As 2024 comes to a close, here’s a look back at some of the Drone Lab’s stats and projects.
Aligning the photos to create an inital stereo model and sparse point cloud is the first step in Metashape. In this lab, we explore the different options for aligning photos and how to optimize the sparse point cloud.

Raw lidar data collected from Yellowscan sensors must be processed through CloudStation to produce high-accuracy point clouds and elevation models.

The University of Idaho’s Drone Lab has worked with the Montana Chapter of The Nature Conservancy to develop and refine workflows for automated processing of drone imagery into indicators of ecosystem health.
