It is actually a raw data from UAV mapping; the whole story: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/sensefly-drone-mapping-matterhor...

I don't think so, the raw data should be much more accurate down to deci-, if no centimeters.

Height data derived from photogrammetry usually has lower vertical accuracy than that (even on fixed wing planes with better sensors).
