Abstract
Abstract The paper seeks to evaluate three digital photogrammetry processing software, comparing Agisoft Metashape (known as Agisoft Metashape prior to version 1.5), Bentley ContextCapture, and RealityCapture to each other. The literature review discusses and evaluates the current academic literature on the most commonly used digital photogrammetry processing programs, including the existing publications on Metashape, ContextCapture, and RealityCapture as well as several open source software. The current body of literature mostly covers the use of digital photogrammetry in terms of large-scale site digitization using drones. The tests which were carried out in Metashape, ContextCapture, and RealityCapture present a small-scale artifact digitization case study in ideal conditions, using the same artifact and data in all three programs.
TL;DRThe tests which were carried out in Metashape, ContextCapture, and RealityCapture present a small-scale artifact digitization case study in ideal conditions, using the same artifact and data in all three programs. (Semantic Scholar)
