Metashape is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux (Reality Capture is Windows only) and has heavily discounted pricing for education. As of right now, the competing packages don’t allow the users to get ahold of the detailed metrics (though they obviously have the data internally) or work with them directly. It produces detailed reports for photogrammetry projects that include a variety of useful metrics, and it also can export all kinds of valuable data about the project (including camera calibration data) which could be used in other contexts. It also gives users access to select data using a variety of algorithms which allows for error reduction during processing. That said, we currently recommend Agisoft Metashape Pro because it includes access to a lot of metrics about the imaging project and individual images. And, properly collected image sets can always be re-processed in other software at a later date (or by others) Good capture methodology is key to good results. Reply One - Director Imaging Consultancyįirst, it’s important to know that how you capture the images to get good, reproducible, measurable results for photogrammetry is independent of the software you will use to process them. We mostly provide documentation for conservation and scientific work, but the models could also be used to create object supports and curatorial content for exhibitions. We work with all different types of objects, including archeology, fine art, paper, books, textiles, metals, etc. I’m planning on purchasing Agisoft MetaShape Professional Edition for myself and my colleague, and I’m wondering if you can tell me what the advantage is of this software over others when it comes to documenting cultural heritage objects. What are your own thoughts on the subject? Original Question - Scientific Documentation Technologist government agency I’ve anonymized the people involved for privacy’s sake.

The following exchange occurred on a cultural heritage imaging list that I am member of, I’m re-sharing here as I think it contains plenty of useful advice.
