Open Aerial Mapp[1] seems like a good start, but doesn't seem to be particularly active.
Seems like we could use a "Mapillary[2] but from Above" type of project - only one that doesn't end up getting acquired by Facebook.

You take a drone, point the camera mostly down (a narrow angle, not straight down), take photos of land, with some overlap, preferably from different angles, load the software, and it creates an ortophoto, 3d model, height map, all georeferenced
One barrier for OAM seems to be that it requires the image to be already orthorectified. To be more like Mapillary you'd need a service that takes georefed pictures and does its own processing.
In the case of airplane window photos where georef is not going to be good enough, you might need existing photos to correlate with -- ADS-B track combined with time can help provide a starting guess, but not much else.
