Agisoft Metashape 2.2.2 has officially been released by Agisoft, delivering numerous enhancements in LiDAR data handling, orthomosaic processing, precision display, batch operations, the Agisoft Viewer, and enhanced cloud-based team control. Below is a comprehensive overview of what is new and improved in version 2.2.2.
1. Advanced LiDAR & Point Cloud Processing Enhancements
Metashape 2.2.2 builds on earlier LiDAR innovations with expanded point cloud management tools. It introduces:
- “View matches” option for laser scans: Easily inspect correspondences between laser scans directly via the Workspace context menu.
- “Apply boresight offset” and “Apply trajectory mask” when merging point clouds—useful for aligning LiDAR datasets with greater accuracy within the Merge Assets dialog.
These tools make LiDAR and terrestrial laser scanning workflows more precise and user-friendly, especially for geospatial professionals and drone mapping users.
2. Smarter Orthomosaic Editing & Texture Handling
Improvements in orthomosaic construction and editing include:
- New Fill tool for manual orthomosaic editing: Define polygons over areas that need filling or exclusion—ideal for removing recurring unwanted features or patching gaps where image data is missing.
- Support for Occlusion maps: Now you can transfer occlusion-based textures when building an orthomosaic from a textured model, enriching visual realism.
- Merge orthophotos option: Simplify merging of orthophoto elements during orthomosaic assembly.
These improvements enhance flexibility and control when creating high-quality geospatial layers.
3. Enhanced Precision, Camera Calibration & Batch Processing
Metashape 2.2.2 also introduces powerful usability upgrades:
- Precision option for coordinates and measurements—customize decimal places for displayed values in the Measurements preferences pane.
- Split calibration group by image groups—especially useful for multi-flight workflows where calibration parameters change per segment.
- Import/Export Reference via Batch Process—batch-import or export coordinates for cameras, markers, or scale bars, streamlining control point workflows.
These features improve calibration accuracy and workflow automation across complex projects.
4. Agisoft Viewer Enhancements & Cloud Team Management
Key updates extend beyond processing into visualization and collaboration:
- Coordinate system selection in Viewer: When importing a camera track in Agisoft Viewer, you can now specify the coordinate system of the track for seamless data alignment.
- New Team Management system on Agisoft Cloud: Assign roles like Owner, Administrator, Member, and External, and define per‐Folder/Site/Project catalog roles (e.g., Manager, Editor, Analyst, Viewer). This adds flexible, secure collaboration control.
These updates elevate both usability and team collaboration in remote and enterprise environments.
Why Agisoft Metashape 2.2.2 Matters
If you work with aerial LiDAR, drone orthomosaics, or multi-flight photogrammetry, version 2.2.2 offers smarter tools and smoother workflows. From manual orthomosaic editing to higher precision, robust batch support, improved viewer flexibility, and secure team controls in the cloud—this is a meaningful upgrade that supports both field users and office teams.
Getting Started & Updating Safely
Agisoft Metashape 2.2.2 is now the latest officially released version, available for both Standard and Professional editions on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Updates within the 2.x series are free; however, Professional users may need to activate floating licenses with the new Agisoft License Server, while Standard edition retains the same activation system.
Summary & Call to Action
Metashape 2.2.2 is a robust and polished release that enhances precision, editing control, automation, and collaboration. Whether you’re a GIS professional, drone operator, surveyor, or photogrammetry enthusiast, these updates help you deliver better results faster and with more control.
