Some embodiments described herein include a method for generating scaled terrain information with an unmanned autonomous gardening vehicle. In some embodiments the gardening vehicle includes a driving unit comprising a set of at least one drive wheel and a motor connected to the at least one drive wheel for providing movability of the gardening vehicle, a gardening-tool and a camera for capturing images of a terrain, the camera being positioned and aligned in known manner relative to the gardening vehicle. In context of the method the gardening vehicle is moved in the terrain while concurrently generating a set of image data by capturing an image series of terrain sections so that at least two (successive) images of the image series cover an amount of identical points in the terrain, wherein the terrain sections are defined by a viewing area of the camera at respective positions of the camera while moving.
