Abstract
In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include a stereo camera including two cameras. To maintain proper alignment of the stereo camera as the UAV moves about, a management device may access calibration information for the stereo camera and receive sensing information indicating movement of the two cameras relative to each other. Based at least in part on the calibration information and the sensing information, the management device may instruct an actuator to move one of the two cameras to the proper alignment or may rectify frames captured by the two cameras to return to the proper alignment.
