    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a position of a camera affixed to a UAV in flight when the camera captures a digital aerial image. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods utilize real time kinematic satellite navigation techniques to identify a position of a UAV. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods precisely determine the time that a camera captures a digital aerial image together with an attitude of the UAV at the time of capture to calculate a location of a camera at the time of capture. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods can utilize the determined position of the camera together with the captured digital aerial image to generate a three-dimensional representation of a site.
