Abstract:
Systems and methods may include a drone or multiple drones to capturing depth information, which may be used to create a stereoscopic map. The drone may capture information about two trailing drones, including a baseline distance between the two trailing drones. Additional information may be captured, such as camera angle information for one or both of the two trailing drones. The drone may receive images from the two trailing drones. The images may be used (on the drone or on another device, such as a base station) to create a stereoscopic image using the baseline distance. The stereoscopic image may include determined depth information for objects within the stereoscopic image, for example based on the baseline distance between the two trailing drones and the camera angle information.
