C3 Map import, any attempts? looks brilliant

Has anyone heard of any attempts to import a c3 map into rhino/grasshopper

C3 maps are incredible 3d photogammetric maps

An example can be found on Yell.com HERE

May be limited to British ip's

Would be a brilliant tools for quickly inserting 3D site geometry.

I imagine they try very hard to keep you from getting at their 3d data. I had some success ages ago extracting 3d buildings from google earth with 3d ripper dx - perhaps something similar would be possible with webgl (if that's what this is).

I assume that all 3d data is something like heightfield bitmap... there are no "real 3d" models there, but must say that algorithm which does the modeling job is neat. (some might say "thank you capt. obvious")
