Abstract

In some examples, one or more processors of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), control a propulsion mechanism of the UAV to cause the UAV to navigate to a plurality of positions in relation to a scan target. Using one or more image sensors of the UAV, a first image of the scan target is captured from a first position of the plurality of positions, and a second image of the scan target is captured from a second position of the plurality of positions. A disparity is determined between the first image captured at the first position and the second image captured at the second position. A three-dimensional model corresponding to the scan target is determined based in part on the disparity determined between the first image and the second image.
