Good morning, I am working on the reconstruction of the facades of a church. I made flights in manual mode, taking pictures with some overlap. The result of the initial process is the one shown in the attached photo: part of the facade is curved. Some photos do not seem to be correctly aligned. I had thought that it was linked to a wrong correction of image distortion, but even processing the images correcting the distortion the same problem occurs. ![Facciata](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/pix4d/original/1X/6e4a2adfa93e3a54d67c0cad4bf6d45366dd2606.jpeg) Thanks Massimo ---

Hi Massimo, Have you tried adding MTPs to the wall? Could you share here with us your Quality Report? Best ---

Hi Beata, no, I haven’t tried to use MTPs yet. I tried to process the images by setting the calibration method to “accurate geolocation and orientation” and the result is much better. However I don’t know if it’s correct to use this setting. I attach the Quality Report file.

Hi, Are you sure it’s the right Quality Report? I still see Calibration Method: Standard. Let me know 🙂 ---

Hi Beata, sorry, I explained wrongly. The quality report of B1\_Mattina\_00 is related to the standard calibration method. The result is visible in the photo of the first post. Below I attach image and quality report of the procedure done with the calibration method "accurate geolocation and orientation”.

Hi, Thank you for the clarification! You have the Phantom 4 RTK so you can use the Accurate Geolocation and Orientation pipeline. However, I recommend double-checking the accurancy of your geotags. It could be that it’s a little too optimistic for your dataset. Please reduce it a little and reprocess the project. Afterwards, the _Absolute Geolocation Variance_ in the Quality Report should show better results. Best ---

Hi, thank you for your suggestion. Sorry, but where can i change the accurancy of my geotags? in the image properties editor? ---

Yes, exactly there 🙂 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/pix4d/original/1X/003101d5df80becf4cfa76e44d42e7874a11ffe9.png) ---

ok. So I try to increase the values manually an reprocess everything. Thank you ---

Let me know how it goes. Regards
