I'm not sure if this would be called an orthophoto or a photomosaic but I'm looking to create an overhead 2d image of a golf course community that is around 1 square mile. This is to create a pretty photo that will be used for marketing, it does not need to be a large file size that can be zoomed in on to see fine detail or for any survey purposes. I also have a Mini 3 Pro if that would be easier.
I did a 36 image panorama in Lightroom as a test which came out great. Covered an area of about 1/2 mile wide at 400 feet of altitude. Very little overlap, maybe 10%, flying manually. Automating the flight and photo taking would be great to remove the chance for user error. My other concern is maxing out Lightroom's panoramic merging capabilities once I move to a larger area, or at least my computer's hardware abilities. I could do it in stages though if needed. I'm wondering if anyone has any insights for a good workflow for this little project. I've heard dronelink might be a good option.
