Good and important questions, Ray.

Our bit was doing a ground-based photogrammetric survey using mobile phones
and a 24' painter extension poles. The use was for research in methods of
collecting structure and activities data for Urban Studies. eg, does
photogrammetry from the ground approximate LiDAR measurements of building
heights in areas of the world where LIDAR coverage is sparse. And can we
capture and monitor in real time.

While we were surveying, a member of the SFI and hobbyist/recreational
drone user noticed our work and volunteered drone imagery. Imagery was not
sold nor contracted for and permission was granted to fly after hours when
staff and students were gone.

Of course I am not an authority in the legal issues around drones but a
resource that addresses this is http://knowbeforeyoufly.org/.  It explains
how public entities and commercial user have more restrictions than
recreational user.

At a larger scale, we think there is a strong need to have privacy embedded
in pointcloud data - very similar to HIPAA regulations intent that looks
for aggregate benefit while protecting individual privacy. We think there's
distributed ways of aggregating individual's pointcloud data without using
centralized servers while using agents to mediate questions asked of the
data. Somewhat inspiring to us is the idea of "Souveillance" instead of
"Surveillance": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance

We'd like to talk with anyone that interested in this space and
applications.
