Abstract
In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may identify a scan target. The UAV may navigate to two or more positions in relation to the scan target. The UAV may capture, using one or more image sensors of the UAV, two or more images of the scan target from different respective positions in relation to the scan target. For instance, the two or more respective positions may be selected by controlling a spacing between the two or more respective positions to enable determination of parallax disparity between a first image captured at a first position and a second image captured at a second position of the two or more positions. The UAV may determine a three-dimensional model corresponding to the scan target based in part on the determined parallax disparity of the two or more images including the first image and the second image.
