Melting images in maps

Greetings,

I completed a mapping mission yesterday at the local fairgrounds. Mavic Air 2, 250', 12mph, 2 sec. using DroneLink to capture. After processing here on MapsMadeEasy, when I blew up the image, I noticed that a couple of sections in the roof over the racetrack bleachers looked like they were melting away or like they had been hit by hurricane-force winds. It isn't noticeable at full scale. What causes that and how can I avoid it in the future?

You can see in your overlap report that there are a few areas that didn't get nearly the amount of overlap that is required to properly render those areas.

Roofs are always harder to deal with because of the repeating patterns and lower overlap achieved due to it being higher.

Using the Ground Offset feature will make it so taller objects, like roofs, will get the overlap you want it to get.
