Unless you want to do it by hand with georeferencing...
OpenDroneMap(OpenSource), Photoscan($), or Pix4d($$). There are also
several good and relatively inexpensive online options like DroneDeploy,
MapsMadeEasy, etc...

Yes the images will have a center point but that's not the same as being
geo-referenced, that's actually called geo-tagged.

The results can be viewed and analyzed in QGIS.
