"In my experiance in the airforce with various camera pods and mapping cameras attached to a pod on board an mirage jet in the 70,s, we first recorded the height before taking the frame.

"Why the need for accurate alt.
If it is to accurate then your uav and system is going to chase the height.
In real flight as a pilot the craft is going to rise and fall due to turbelance and other factours but on average will remain constant.

"I think fixed wing is better suited to UAV roles than helis.
Faster delivery to area of opertation,remember helis have a terminal forward speed.
More fuel effience and longer staying on post.
i dont really see a need for a vertical UAV.
