Stitching facade not flat

[Michele]

Hello,

I'm trying to build the facade of a round tower for an architectural studio and I'm facing many struggle. I've managed to create it on photoshop but want to know if there's a better way to do it (shooting and editing it).

I've circled around the tower with my drone and take many shots (attached) but because of wind and manual control they're not entirely taken nor from the same height nor from the same distance to the wall... I know, it's a mess.

I've managed to stitch them in Photoshop 1 by 1 using guides and same distance elements, but maybe there's a better way. Somebody can help?

Thanks so much!

I fear PTGui is not designed to do this kind of stitching, it's made for
panoramas shot from a single viewpoint (without parallax).

You can, however, try a 3D-reconstruction of the tower using "structure
from motion" technique, also called photogrammetry. There are several
commercial and open source programs that can do this.

I tried with Zephyr, but only 5 images was accepted (due to poor overllap)

You can try the free version of Zephyr but you have to take more images with more overlap (70/80%)
