<br>
hi<br>
<br>
i seen people posting about lidar data being intergrated with open street maps. Has anyone got the ear of the people doing the lidar scanning because it would useful/interested to scan redditch if there are over this way it would make sense.<br>
<br>
We have a number of interesting sites - the most interesting is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordesley_Abbey" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordesley_Abbey</a><br>
<br>
Not sure if they had anything like lidar done but they sent up a drone the other day.<br>
<br>

how hard is it too attached lidar to such a drone? maybe a raspberry pi project?<br>
<br>
