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

hi

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.

We have a number of interesting sites - the most interesting is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordesley_Abbey

Not sure if they had anything like lidar done but they sent up a drone the other day.
