"This might be an interesting related software for your calculations. For input, it does NOT need laser testers just photos simply. Seems, there is an off-the-shelf solution ... at certain cost.

Almost nothing addtl sw is needed for the data collection.
Also "Arduino sensor logging" is giving some hits in google.

Another question…"

"Hi, it's me again. Just seen this new blog (below link) that might be of inspiration. Overkill though, far far more than what we need here. Just imagine to put that cam on your drone. Theoretically... would do the job, eh?
Okay, I know, you need a…"

To better understand your project, I would suggest to possibly provide more…"
