Mark, The Lidar data we took a look at for OpenStreetMap was the Environment Agency data - we didn't collect anything ourselves. For OSM you'd need 50cm resolution or better plus lots of people dedicated to then converting that in to map data.
You may want to look at "StreetView" type images for interesting sites. Have a look at http://www.mapillary.com/ Best, *Rob* On 25 February 2016 at 10:02, Andy Robinson <ajrli...@gmail.com> wrote: > From my experience, albeit from a few years ago now, the acquisition isn’t > perhaps the main challenge, it’s the processing of the huge amount of cloud > point data that lidar produces that makes the process complicated. > > Cheers > Andy > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Croft Redditch Linux Mint [mailto:mark.croft....@gmail.com] > Sent: 25 February 2016 09:35 > Cc: talk-gb-westmidlands > Subject: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] lidar > > hi > > i seen people posting about lidar data being intergrated with open street > maps.
