However, due to the difference in the degree of optimization to the hardware due to the change of the processing process depending on the version, Build Dense Cloud showed a slight decrease in speed. In addition, it is considered that the optimization of multi-threaded CPU for the process that is executed by the CPU has also led to the improvement of the overall performance. In the previous Metashape, the scenes where GPGPU can be used were limited, but the scope of application has expanded with the version upgrade, contributing to processing efficiency. There is a big difference in the required time in the Build Mesh process, but this is probably because the software process has been improved so that the GPGPU is actively used in the Build Mesh process. We were able to complete the processing under the above conditions within about half a day.įor comparison, Metashape 1.5.5 was also measured under the same conditions.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti x 2 (Multi GPU, without NVLINK SLI).In order to actively utilize the GPGPU, the latest generation high-end GPU is installed in a multi-configuration.

The hardware used for verification is as follows.

Image pixel resolution is about 1,500 million pixels.

jpg files of 4MB to 550MB (total capacity of approximately 2GB), subject is a stone statue The details of the image data used to create the model are as follows. In Metashape, you can select the operation mode of GPGPU with CUDA and OpenCL, but in this verification, the default CUDA is selected.

GPGPU is enabled to reduce the time required. Using Metashape 1.6.2, the 3D model creation process was performed in the following process and the required time was measured. Metashape 1.6.2Was used to measure the data processing performance. This time, it will be the latest stable version as of May 2020.

Metashape not only expands the functions but also actively improves the efficiency of hardware processing, and the latest Metashape is able to process large amounts of data at high speed by making full use of CPU multithreading and GPGPU. Agisoft Metashape, which is also sold by us, is a modeling software that creates 3D models from images, and has been under development for nearly 10 years as far back as the old PhotoScan.
