An apparatus includes an interface configured to receive image data and position data from an aircraft. The image data is associated with a plurality of images of a scene including an object. The position data is associated with positions of a camera of the aircraft that captured the plurality of images. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to identify a first camera position corresponding to a first image of the plurality of images. The processor further configured to identify a first relative position of the object relative to the camera. The first relative position identified based on the first camera position, the first image data, and second image data corresponding to a second image of the plurality of images. The processor further configured to output an indication of a global position of the object based on the position data and the first relative position of the object.
