Orthophotos Improved Using Fake Ground Control Points

See the difference between two orthophotos-- one created using no ground control points (GCPs) and another using "fake" GCPs. The fake GCPs were identified using recognizable points in Google Earth Pro-- taking their lat/lon/elevation from the app, not survey-grade GPS equipment.

This was done using WebODM but I'd expect similar results from Pix4D or DroneDeploy.

Software mentioned in the video--
GCP Editor Pro, UAV4geo.com

I plan to do a follow-up video with the details of my workflow if there is enough interest. Please give me some likes if you want to see that. Or follow this link.
