A computer-implemented method comprises receiving, by an image processing system, a depth image captured by a stereo camera on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). One or more pixels of the depth image are associated with corresponding depth values indicative of distances of one or more objects to the stereo camera. The image processing system determines that one or more pixels of the depth image are associated with invalid depth values. The image processing system infers, based on a distribution of the one or more pixels of the depth image that are associated with invalid depth values, a presence of a potential obstacle in an environment of the UAV. The UAV is controlled based on the inferred presence of the potential obstacle.
