Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by unmanned vehicles (UVs), captured image data representative of respective overlapping subsections of an object, the captured image data including images from UVs dedicated to imaging an overlapping subsection of the respective overlapping subsections of the object;
registering, by a geometric bundle adjustment, the captured image data of the overlapping subsections to each other resulting in registered overlapping subsections;
geo-locating, using registered tie points of the object, the registered overlapping subsections resulting in geo-located registered overlapping subsections;
generating a first three-dimensional (3D) point set based on the geo-located registered overlapping subsections; and
registering the first 3D point set to a second 3D point set to generate a merged 3D point set.
