I think you can export a contour model from qgis

Sure, but even processing via qgis can be a bit more involved than importing a shapefile, etc.

Here is a great site I found for doing the depths of any lake.

I’ve been experimenting with Google’s “PhotoScan” app, which allows you to “scan” documents by guiding you through taking a series of photos. Used it quite a bit a the Star Wars costume & art exhibit now in Denver.

It does some really neat math in the background, making sure the image comes out registered, orthogonal, and (almost) without shadows. The image below was actually 5 images captured then blended by the app in realtime. Originally stored as a jpeg, so there are compression artifacts.

oh nice! this is a cool photo to. I have an app called document scanner on my phone that kinda does that, but not quite as cool. I might have to make use of this photo if you have no objections…
