I've had the same idea some time ago. With exact position and heading
added to the pictures, and a large enough collection of pictures of a
certain area (taken from different angles), you could easily build a 3-
dimensional model of that area.
I've once tested a software that allowed you to manually match several
pictures to a 3-dimensional model ("Canoma", IIRC, BICBW), but it would
be much easier if all the position data would be in the pictures.
