Abstract:
Computerized systems and methods are disclosed, including a computer system that executes software that may receive a geographic location having one or more coordinates of a structure, receive a validation of the structure location, and generate unmanned aircraft information based on the one or more coordinates of the validated location. The unmanned aircraft information may include an offset from the walls of the structure to direct an unmanned aircraft to fly an autonomous flight path offset from the walls, and camera control information to direct a camera of the unmanned aircraft to capture images of the walls at a predetermined time interval while the unmanned aircraft is flying the flight path. The computer system may receive images of the walls captured by the camera while the unmanned aircraft is flying the autonomous flight path and generate a structure report based at least in part on the images.
