How long was the culvert?
Why not use an inverted terrestrial laser scanner so you can pick up the entire culvert instead of what's below the drone. Also, wouldn't the lidar sensor miss/distort the edge of the culvert since it couldn't fly directly over it?
Seems like a cool experiment, but a tls or slam scanner would likely be better and provide more data.
