Im working on a project that requires georeferencing, so this post caught my eye. Grass GIS (open source GIS) has a georeferencer utility and MapAnalyst (http://mapanalyst.cartography.ch/index.html) can calculate distortion.

Roof material can be seen, and from some of the sideways images (like this one; see more at the Flickr feed) we can definitely make out wood/brick/plastic. But I’m hoping we can run around with the kids and do a quick survey of building materials anyways.
