External opinions: which software do you prefer for close range photogrammetry and why?Įdit: Thank you everyone for your advice! I am going to continue to play with the trial version of Metashape I have before making a final decision, will also ask my advisor to apply for the educational version of RC, and will look into Zephyr (as that is one I haven't messed with at all).

But, of course, Metashape's academic license is significantly cheaper than RC's.which is a plus, but not a deal maker. RC seems to do a better job with detecting and using control points as well (though that may be user error for Metashape). I have used both RC and Metashape and find that I prefer RC's user experience, though the models I get from both seem to be equally good (though RC might be a touch more detailed. I have pretty decent funding for a pilot study and am going to spring for a license for one of the titular programs. I am a doctoral candidate intending to use photogrammetry for my dissertation.

We are naturally proud of the endorsement of this course by none other than Agisoft and we are extremely grateful for their continuing support in ensuring professional users of Metashape Standard edition extract as much value as possible from the software.Hey everyone, I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere, so I beg your patience. The really good news? This course includes access to the Metashape Foundation course! The Professional edition application and workflow really does build on the basic principles taught in the Standard course and we will encourage experienced users to work through this before commencing the Pro course.

Creating and Working with ortho photos and DEMs.

Using references and ground control points.

Markers, coded control points and their application.

Recursive optimisation workflow for accuracy.

This course is modular and self paced covering Aimed at forensic crash investigators, surveyors, archaeologist and professional services requiring deeper knowledge of how to extract the best from Metashape Professional software to create scaled 3D reconstruction with accuracy and reliability. Agisoft Metashape is software that can build high quality 3D models from photos (still images).There is a Standard Edition.
