If you want open source software for aerial photo mosaicking, you can
use ODM. It is not easy to use at the moment.

" OpenDroneMap is an open source toolkit for processing aerial drone
imagery. Typical drones use simple point-and-shoot cameras, so the
images from drones, while from a different perspective, are similar to
any pictures taken from point-and-shoot cameras, i.e. non-metric
imagery. OpenDroneMap turns those simple images into three dimensional
geographic data that can be used in combination with other geographic
datasets"
