This is the first part of the tutorial series on drone mapping in RealityCapture. In this one we will cover importing the images, aligning them and optimizing the alignment with the ground control points. We will look at how to deal with the so-called bowl effect, how to deal with inaccurate geolocation of the drone images and what to do when ground control points and images have different vertical systems.
