Sometime I think, it wolud be nice to start with developing of our own 
aplication for capturing of:
1. Aerial images
2. Terrain model information
3. 3D information about buildings
We have enoug knowdlege in the cloud to do it. What we need is one or 2 
universities for staering the develepment and (probably) crowd funding for 
getting it open source.
I can write mockup for such solution.

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UAV I doubt that any of the DIY
solutions can take it up with a commercial product wrt packaging, ease
of use etc. But there it lots of information around and a reasonably
good system can be built for less than Euro 2k. The main issue is a easy
to use software tool chain for post processing the images.

I'd be very interested in a solution.

I found this one:

https://store.3drobotics.com/products/3DR-Aero

Additionally one would need a camera - e.g. some Canon (not DSLR) with CHDK or
something beeing capable of continously shooting at e.g. 1/2Hz or something. 
Flash
memory shouldnt be problem here.

I am unshure about focal length, frequency of shooting, rectifying images (work
needed) for later use in a WMS (GeoTIFF etc). Investing that much money without
having an idea whether results are usable is a little risky :)

Greetings.

I'm curious to know if any OSM groups are currently running their own 
drones for imagery. In Iceland we have been looking longingly at the 
eBee https://www.sensefly.com/drones/ebee.html but so far haven't 
started fundraising for it.


Are there similarly sophisticated yet cheaper options around and 
currently in use?
