Another possibility to acquire legitimate aerial imagery for mapping is 
to shoot it in-house by an specialized industrial UAV: 
https://www.sensefly.com/ . And even consumer UAVs producers at last 
start to design inbuilt HD camera with possibility of 90 degrees (down) 
direction ( http://www.bladehelis.com/350QX3/ ) [though the photos from 
the latter will require still an orthorectification, the process of 
removing the effects of image perspective for creating a planimetrically 
correct images]
