I am doing a lot of research in the hopes of using a multicopter for detailed mapping of small areas at an archaeological site.

When looking at cameras Wide angle cameras have a lot of benefit for general AP, but are they a benefit or problem when doing mapping.

I would assume wide angle lenses have greater distortion which could increase errors in mapping images.

I plan to start with Palantier or some other freeware option for mapping, I am also looking at photogrammetry software like Archgis, or Agisoft once I have tried out freware options.
