A system of imaging a scene includes a plurality of drones, each drone moving along a corresponding flight path over the scene and having a drone camera capturing, at a corresponding first pose and first time, a corresponding first image of the scene; a fly controller that controls the flight path of each drone, in part by using estimates of the first pose of each drone camera provided by a camera controller, to create and maintain a desired pattern of drones with desired camera poses; and the camera controller, which receives, from the drones, a corresponding plurality of captured images, processing the received images to generate a 3D representation of the scene as a system output, and to provide the estimates of the first pose of each drone camera to the fly controller. The system is fully operational with as few as one human operator.
