Abstract

In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may control a position of a first camera to cause the first camera to capture a first image of a target. The UAV may receive a plurality of second images from a plurality of second cameras, the plurality of second cameras positioned on the UAV for providing a plurality of different fields of view in a plurality of different directions around the UAV, the first camera having a longer focal length than the second cameras. The UAV may combine at least some of the plurality of second images to generate a composite image corresponding to the first image and having a wider-angle field of view than the first image. The UAV may send the first image and the composite image to a computing device.
