A drone (105) and a method for stitching video data in three dimensions. The method comprises generating video data, localizing and mapping the video data, generating a three-dimensional stitched map, and wirelessly transmitting data for the stitched map. The data is generated using at least one camera (225) mounted on a drone (105), and includes multiple viewpoints of objects in an area. The data, including the multiple viewpoints, is localized and mapped by at least one processor (210) on the drone. The three-dimensional stitched map of the area is generated using the localized and mapped video data. The data for the stitched map is wirelessly transmitted by a transceiver (220) on the drone.
