Good theory, I'll have to test it if I get the chance. Unfortunately I can only make the pics, I don't have stereo capable hardware right now.
How about simply taking photos from various angles, but document the exact position from which each photo is taken? From that it should be possible to calculate the position for a number of points with (hopefully) fairly good precision. If the photographing method is standardised, it could even be possible to write a script for the calculations. Like snaps taken 30° apart from a defined distance. Identify the same spot on the craft in two or more pictures etc... Use the same lens for all photographs. Take also a photo of a grid so you know where you have the angles in pictures taken with that setting. The high-tech method would be using a laser scanner. ;)
