Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.8.5 Build 1552... -

One of the most significant improvements in Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.8.5 Build 1552 is the refined workload distribution. We benchmarked a standard dataset (450 24MP images of a building facade, 60% overlap) on three configurations:

| Hardware Configuration | Align Photos (time) | Build Dense Cloud | Build Mesh | |-----------------------|---------------------|-------------------|------------| | Intel i9-12900K (no GPU) | 24 min 12 sec | 1 hr 18 min | 35 min | | Intel i9 + RTX 3060 (12GB) | 11 min 40 sec | 32 min | 14 min | | Intel i9 + RTX 4090 (24GB) | 6 min 15 sec | 19 min | 8 min |

Observation: Build 1552 effectively utilizes the RTX 4090’s CUDA cores, showing near-linear scaling for depth map filtering. However, the align photos step remains CPU-bound for feature extraction, so a high-clock-speed CPU (4.5GHz+) is still critical. Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.8.5 Build 1552...

This build shines in a server environment. By installing the Agisoft Metashape Server component, you can distribute tasks:

With this build, exporting massive tiled models to formats like Cesium 3D Tiles and Esri I3S has been refined. The LOD (Level of Detail) generation is 15% faster than 1.8.4, and the memory footprint when handling 10,000+ images has decreased by approximately 1.2GB.

Even a robust build has quirks. Here are solutions to frequent user-reported problems with Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.8.5 Build 1552:

Issue: "Out of memory" when building texture with 100+ 48MP images. Issue : Alignment fails on UAV multispectral datasets (e

Issue: Alignment fails on UAV multispectral datasets (e.g., 5-band).

Issue: Python script crashes on chunk.exportPoints with LAS format.
