Contrary to what one might think, amateur photometry will become increasingly important and considerably more time-efficient in the era of extensive astronomical surveys. Appended to a sparsely sampled data sequence, even one 'traditional' dense lightcurve of an asteroid will boost the reliability of the resulting physical model significantly. Amateur observers have the chance to obtain thousands of well-defined spin and shape models of asteroids in the near future as the data from surveys such as Pan-STARRS and LSST start flowing in. This is a unique opportunity to map the asteroid population: no other observing mode can reach such a vast number of targets.
