The document outlines 26 steps to process aerial photos in Agisoft Metashape Professional software to generate orthomosaic and DEM outputs. The steps include adding photos, estimating image quality, importing ground control points from a CSV file, aligning photos, building dense cloud and classifying ground points, editing the dense cloud, building a DEM and orthomosaic, and exporting outputs.
