You can collect LIDAR data for your own favorite part of city by using this $250 device and a cheap drone like 3DR Solo: http://www.lightware.co.za/shop/en/drone-altimeters/51-sf11c... The main issue you will face is permission to fly drone at 100m or so. In US there are way too many laws to do this. It looks like aircraft was flying at 200m for above data. London's tallest structure are at 300m+ so this is not doable in all areas. Also note that software like pix4d and AutoDesk 360 can construct 3D models purely from drone images or videos. I'm not sure how much better LIDAR models are compared to models from structure from motion. |
