Methods and apparatus to reduce a depth map size for use in a collision avoidance system are described herein. Examples described herein may be implemented in an unmanned aerial vehicle. An example unmanned aerial vehicle includes a depth sensor to generate a first depth map. The first depth map includes a plurality of pixels having respective distance values. The unmanned aerial vehicle also includes a depth map modifier to divide the plurality of pixels into blocks of pixels and generate a second depth map having fewer pixels than the first depth map based on distance values of the pixels in the blocks of pixels. The unmanned aerial vehicle further includes a collision avoidance system to analyze the second depth map.
