Downward facing panoramic?

So I've got a client that wants a printed satellite map of his 40 acre property.
But he wants it a CURRENT photograph.
Anyone know how I can use the 2d mapping pictures to stitch them together to have the large image I can bring to the printer?
41x90 inches is the paper size
 
PTGui or PanoramaStudio 4.1.6 (Pro) are two the best pano stitching software programs, if neither LightRoom nor Photoshop can handle the stitch.
I use all four programs, depending upon the project and the desired output.
 
Ok - cool - appreciate the advice.
So I'll be able to use one of these to take a bunch of downward facing images over 40 acres, and make it flat? Not 360?
I gotta git it printed. It's a unique request to be sure, but def a cool idea.
Thanks
 
I thought this was such a unique idea I tried it in Panovola.

It would not process. Maybe one of the pano software's mentioned above will fare better.

My nadir imagery did have 80/80 overlap which I would guess is too much for Panovola and Panovola did not like the nadir imagery giving an error of "Incorrect Gimbal Yaw".
I tried with datasets from two different drones, one being a Matrice 4E and the other a Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced.

Hopefully you have a better result than me.

I think I might test this out though and have the Matrice 4E collect images with a much lower overlap and see what happens.

Good luck with your project.

Awesome information - I'm def looking forward to getting in the air and seeing what I can come up with. But it's too cold to even be outside, let alone throwing one of my birds in the air. Northern Minnesota. -27 yesterday morning.
I know it can be done... Otherwise Google maps itself would look weird and distorted...
Just gotta figure out how.
