Systems and methods for performing aerial photography and/or photogrammetry are provided. In one example, a path to be followed by an aerial vehicle may be generated based on a path traversed by a ground vehicle. The path to be followed by the aerial vehicle may be a path that is vertically and laterally offset from the path traversed by the ground vehicle. The path traversed by the ground vehicle may be transmitted by the ground vehicle to the aerial vehicle. Alternatively, the aerial vehicle may determine the path traversed by the ground vehicle by identifying the ground vehicle within images generated by the aerial vehicle. While the aerial vehicle traverses the path to be followed, the aerial vehicle may generate and store images of the ground or other points of interest. A photogrammetry process may be performed on an object of interest using the images generated by the aerial vehicle.
