Aerial vehicle inspection path planning

Structure inspections are performed with a high resolution by first performing a modeling flight path at a relatively high altitude over the structure. Images are gathered during the modeling flight path and are used to generate a three dimensional model of the structure. From the three dimensional...

More Information
Summary:Structure inspections are performed with a high resolution by first performing a modeling flight path at a relatively high altitude over the structure. Images are gathered during the modeling flight path and are used to generate a three dimensional model of the structure. From the three dimensional model a lower altitude closer inspection flight path is defined and executed.
