Now there's a project you can do in your garage! Just get a ladder, attach to your cars roof and tape a video camera to it. Good old school tec.
 
The equipment shown here is for capturing 3D geometric data. This creates a 3D "point cloud" which can be used in CADD (Computer-aided drafting and design) software. This is pretty high-tech stuff that saves uncounted hours over traditional surveying techniques. Great capture!
