There is an interesting paper from our dear friends over in Redmond: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=75312
From the article: "Our mission, in contrast, involved an ordinary four seat Cessna ($160/hour rental, including pilot), three feet of PVC pipe, a consumer digital camera ($300), and two people: one pilot and one to operate the camera shutter and change the batteries (Figure 2). In post-processing, we identified 25 ground reference pairs, and used 60 photos to produce a 208 megapixel image at a resolution of 0.15 m/pixel" The camera in Figure 2 looks exactly like the one I have sitting right next to me: a Canon Power Shot A640 with 10MP. I found it rather entertaining to have an operator to press the trigger and swap batteries. For this, there is surely a more elegant solution (PSU and gphoto2) Anyhow, maybe one or the other finds this interesting and inspiring.
