Professional Photogrammetry Trusted Across Industries
Geo Drone Solutions is the authorised Australian distributor for Agisoft Metashape, the photogrammetry software trusted by surveyors, engineers, researchers, and government agencies across Australia and beyond.
​
Metashape processes thousands of aerial or close-range images on a desktop computer to produce high-resolution georeferenced orthophotos (up to 5 cm accuracy with ground control points), dense point clouds, digital elevation models, and textured 3D meshes.
​
We sell, support, and provide training for Agisoft Metashape across Australia, including educational licences for universities and research institutions.

Why Choose Agisoft Metashape
​From image alignment to final deliverables, a complete photogrammetric workflow in one application.
Photogrammetric Triangulation
Process aerial (nadir, oblique), close-range, and satellite imagery. Auto-calibration for frame, fisheye, spherical, and cylindrical cameras with multi-camera project support.

DSM and DTM Generation
Generate digital surface and terrain models with full georeferencing from EXIF metadata, flight logs, or GCP data. Supports EPSG coordinate systems including WGS84 and UTM.
Dense Point Cloud Generation
Build and classify dense point clouds with automatic multi-class classification. Import and export point data for integration with your existing processing workflows.

Orthomosaic Generation
Produce georeferenced orthomosaics in GeoTIFF format, compatible with all major GIS platforms. Built-in colour correction and ghosting filters for clean, consistent output.
GCP and Scale Bar Support
Import ground control points for georeferencing and accuracy checks. Automatic detection of coded and uncoded targets for rapid GCP input, plus scale bar tools for reference distances.
Professional Deliverables
3D Models and Meshes
Generate textured polygonal models for sites, structures, artefacts, and terrain. Photorealistic textures with HDR and multifile support. Export to OBJ, PLY, FBX, and other popular formats.
Hierarchical Tiled Models
​Produce city-scale tiled models preserving original image resolution for texturing. Publish directly to Cesium for web-based 3D visualisation.
Measurements and Analysis
Measure distances, areas, and volumes directly in the software. Perform stockpile calculations, cut/fill analysis, and export results for further processing in external tools.
Stereoscopic Measurements
Professional 3D monitor and controller support for accurate stereoscopic vectorisation of measurement features. Ideal for detailed mapping and digitisation work.
