How can you get the most out of drone imagery without a technical background? In this one-on-one course, you’ll discover how to use Agisoft Metashape to effortlessly convert UAV imagery into impressive maps and 3D models. With personalized guidance, interactive modules, and realistic assignments, you’ll learn to apply photogrammetry in a way that immediately adds value to your work.
Agisoft Metashape is powerful photogrammetry software used worldwide for processing geodata. Using images captured by UAVs (drones), the software generates accurate orthomosaic maps, digital elevation models (DEMs), point clouds, and 3D models.
Thanks to its advanced algorithms, Agisoft automatically processes large volumes of aerial imagery into high-quality geospatial products. These are applied in diverse fields such as surveying, archaeology, agriculture, environmental analysis, and urban planning. It enables users to create terrain models, reconstruct objects in 3D, and analyze changes in the landscape over time.
What makes Agisoft unique is its combination of precision, speed, and user-friendliness. Both technical professionals and researchers use the software to efficiently carry out projects—from small-scale inspections to large-scale mapping assignments.
In this blended learning course, you’ll discover how to use Agisoft Metashape to convert a collection of overlapping UAV images into an accurate orthomosaic map. You’ll learn how to process raw aerial photos step by step into digital elevation models (DEMs), point clouds, and 3D models that you can immediately use in your work with geodata.
Agisoft uses an automated workflow, allowing you to get started quickly even without prior experience. At the same time, the software offers plenty of flexibility for advanced users who want to edit their data in detail. You’ll gain insight into both the techniques and the underlying logic of photogrammetry, so you understand what you’re doing and why.
The course goes beyond just clicking buttons. You’ll learn how to use Agisoft Metashape in a way that suits your projects, and how to tailor the software to your specific goals—whether you’re creating maps, performing 3D reconstructions, or conducting geospatial analyses.
Blended learning combines independent online learning with hands-on, interactive sessions. This way, you gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience with Agisoft Metashape and the processing of drone imagery. You can complete the online modules at your own pace; they include lessons on photogrammetry, image processing, and creating geospatial models. You’ll learn how to organize aerial photos, process them into orthomosaic maps, and convert them into usable spatial datasets.
During the hands-on online sessions, you’ll apply your knowledge immediately. You’ll work with real UAV imagery and receive personalized guidance from photogrammetry experts. You’ll discover how to deploy ground control points, efficiently set up projects in Agisoft Metashape, and create accurate 3D models and DEMs. By working hands-on with realistic case studies, you’ll develop practical workflows that are essential for reliable analyses using geodata.
Thanks to the combination of flexible online learning and targeted hands-on training, you’ll not only learn how to work with Agisoft Metashape but also how to apply it in real-world projects.
