Hello,
I flew a 40 acre project for a surveyor friend of mine last week. The flight was flown at 200 Ft AGL using Drone Deploy app with terrain following feature since there was some undulation on the western side of the project. After processing the resulting ortho is missing a portion of the flown project as shown below. Has anyone experienced this before and if so are there some corrective measures that can be taken in the settings? 6 GCP’s were used in this project. Here are the processing parameters:

Actual ortho produce from WebODM after the process discarded approximately 100 images that would have been in the red circled area below.
