An image capturing device (204) is coupled to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) via a carrier (106) configured to allow the image capturing device (204) to rotate around one, two, or three axes relative to the UAV. To generate a panoramic image, the UAV is brought to hover or remain substantially stationary near a predetermined location. While the UAV is hovering over the predetermined position, the carrier (106) causes the image capturing device (204) to rotate around a first axis while stabilizing the image capturing device (204) with respect to at least a second axis. As the image capturing device (204) rotates, it captures a plurality of overlapping images. The plurality of images can be processed entirely onboard the UAV to generate a panoramic image without transmitting the plurality of images to a remote device.
