1. A system, comprising:

  • a plurality of imaging devices; and

    a network comprising a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), whereineach of said plurality of UAVs is associated with an imaging device of said plurality of imaging devices,said imaging device is configured to capture a plurality of images, anda first UAV of said plurality of UAVs comprises;

    a first imaging device of said plurality of imaging devices, wherein said first imaging device is configured to capture a first set of images of at least one of at least one static object or at least one moving object; and

    at least one circuit configured to;

    receive, from at least one imaging device of said plurality of imaging devices, focal lens information, a current location and a current orientation of said at least one imaging device,wherein said at least one imaging device is associated with at least one second UAV of said plurality of UAVs, and said at least one second UAV is different from said first UAV;

    determine a target location and a target orientation of said at least one imaging device based on said received focal lens information, said received current location, said received current orientation, and a current location of said at least one of said at least one static object or said at least one moving object;

    determine calibration information based on said received focal lens information and at least one image of a specific calibration object;

    communicate control information and said calibration information to said at least one second UAV;

    modify said current location and said current orientation of said at least one imaging device to said determined target location and said determined target orientation based on said communicated control information; and

    enable calibration of said at least one imaging device of said at least one second UAV based on said communicated calibration information.
