Want to work on an autonomous dirigible project? I'm up for it. We could build a home made Argus for image collection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARGUS-IS
"The three principal components of the ARGUS-IS are a 1.8 Gigapixels video system plus two processing subsystems, one in the air and the other located on the ground.[17]
The sensor uses four lenses and 368 cell phone cameras, 5 megapixels each.[18]"
