Bug Reports / Re: Only 3 decimal shown in reference in update 2.2.1 build 20502

« Last post by msyn on December 04, 2025, 12:19:03 PM »

Hello Rom,
I was also able to see the real error margins within the generated reports.
File --> Export --> Generate Report

Maybe that also helps.
Best,

Hello sklein,

Can you please check if adding out_of_focus_filter=True parameter resolves the problem?

Hello, I have been testing out the texturing and it looks great! The out of focus filter is a game changer in quality. When I'm making a natural texture in python, I couldn't find the command to enable out of focus filter in buildTexture. Looking at the documentation, it only has

buildTexture(blending_mode=NaturalBlending, texture_size=8192, downscale=2, sharpening=1,
use_assigned_cameras=False, fill_holes=True, ghosting_filter=True[, cameras],
texture_type=DiffuseMap, source_data=ImagesData[, source_asset], transfer_texture=True,
workitem_size_cameras=20, max_workgroup_size=100, anti_aliasing=1[, progress])

What's the command to build texture with out of focus filter in python?

THX. it works!. one last thing... isint there any way to export dispplacment map as its beeing seen on model after generating - simply adjusting lvls in let say photoshop doesnt give right results because im doing it "more less" which gives difrent results when rendering... in external software

Hello Dieter,

Can you describe the steps to reproduce? Do you build the texture first, then use Assign Image tool and then rebuild the texture with "use assigned images" option enabled?

General / Much poorer dense cloud after updating Metashape from 1.8 to 2.2

« Last post by MarinK on December 02, 2025, 05:34:30 PM »

Hi everyone,

I am running Metashape using the python API and have recently started re-using some old scripts and data from a few years back when running Metashape 1.8, but now with Metashape 2.2.2.

I had to adapt very slightly the script, nothing major though (see old and new script in attachment). However, I realized that when running the new script I get much sparser dense cloud (800'000 pts instead of 3'000'000), and they also seem to be of lower quality. This is running on the same Metashape project as before, starting from already existing tie points (constrained with GCPs) that I had processed with version 1.8.

I played around with the parameters but without success, and also came to the same results using the GUI.

Would anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks!

General / How to properly load and use RPC data with tri-stereo satellite imagery?

« Last post by GalDa on December 02, 2025, 12:11:02 PM »

Hello,

I’m working with tri-stereo satellite imagery (nadir + forward + backward) that comes with RPC orientation files. My goal is to load the images into Metashape 2.2.2 using the python API so I can recontruct 3D model out of this data.

I load the imagery using:

Code: [Select]

chunk.addPhotos(
    images,
    load_rpc_txt=True,
    load_reference=True,
    load_xmp_accuracy=True,
    load_xmp_calibration=True,
    load_xmp_orientation=True
)

Metashape loads the images without errors and I also set:

Code: [Select]

sensor.type = Metashape.Sensor.Type.RPC
But it doesn’t seem to load the data.

The data is stored in the same folder as the images, using the same filenames. For example:

Code: [Select]

IMG-ALPSMB110862965_O1B2R_UB.tif
RPC-ALPSMB110862965_O1B2R_UB.txt

How do you properly load and activate RPC data in Metashape?
I haven’t found much documentation on this.

General / Re: Metashape chooses blurred patches for orthomosaics

« Last post by Alexey Pasumansky on December 01, 2025, 02:34:44 PM »

Hello NMS,

Metashape takes into account several criteria when choosing optimal images for orthomosaic. Those include distance from camera to the area of interest, effective image resolution for the area of interest, how close is camera normal to the normal to surface in the area of interest and some others.

If you have some blurry and out-of-focus areas on the source images, you can try to generate masks for them in automatic mode using Generate Masks command, from Model method and with "mask defocus areas" option enabled. After that re-build the orthomosaic confirming that unwanted areas are properly masked.

Hello scannapieco,

Currently it is not possible to change the default colors for the point classes.

Agisoft Cloud / Re: Better resolution base Map

« Last post by Ilya Shevelev on December 01, 2025, 01:51:12 PM »

Hello Paulo,

Last week, we released support for WMS / WMTS / TMS map layers. This means you can now add any publicly available basemap as a layer to any project in Agisoft Cloud.

You can find a brief tutorial here: Agisoft Helpdesk Portal
