Here's a sequence of images from a drone in the forest.

These image computing looks like SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and
Mapping) method. We obtain both the location (trajectory) and the
visible relief (3D depth map). However, we're dealing with a monocular
(single camera) image sequence, not a stereoscopic (human vision) one.

Here's the drone's trajectory in space: <https://skfb.ly/pCyBy>
