Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for structure scan using an unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, some methods include accessing a three-dimensional map of a structure; generating facets based on the three-dimensional map, wherein the facets are respectively a polygon on a plane in three-dimensional space that is fit to a subset of the points in the three-dimensional map; generating a scan plan based on the facets, wherein the scan plan includes a sequence of poses for an unmanned aerial vehicle to assume to enable capture, using image sensors of the unmanned aerial vehicle, of images of the structure; causing the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly to assume a pose corresponding to one of the sequence of poses of the scan plan; and capturing one or more images of the structure from the pose.

Abstract: Described herein are systems for roof scan using an unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, some methods include capturing, using an unmanned aerial vehicle, an overview image of a roof of a building from above the roof; presenting a suggested bounding polygon overlaid on the overview image to a user; determining a bounding polygon based on the suggested bounding polygon and user edits; based on the bounding polygon, determining a flight path including a sequence of poses of the unmanned aerial vehicle with respective fields of view at a fixed height that collectively cover the bounding polygon; fly the unmanned aerial vehicle to a sequence of scan poses with horizontal positions matching respective poses of the flight path and vertical positions determined to maintain a consistent distance above the roof; and scanning the roof from the sequence of scan poses to generate a three-dimensional map of the roof

Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), control a propulsion mechanism of the UAV to cause the UAV to navigate to a plurality of positions in relation to a scan target. Using one or more image sensors of the UAV, a first image of the scan target is captured from a first position of the plurality of positions, and a second image of the scan target is captured from a second position of the plurality of positions. A disparity is determined between the first image captured at the first position and the second image captured at the second position. A three-dimensional model corresponding to the scan target is determined based in part on the disparity determined between the first image and the second image.

Abstract: In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include one or more processors configured to capture, with one or more image sensors, and while the UAV is in flight, a plurality of images of a target. The one or more processors may compare a first image of the plurality of images with a second image of the plurality of images to determine a difference between a current frame of reference position for the UAV and an estimate of an actual frame of reference position for the UAV. In addition, the one or more processors may determine, based at least on the difference, and while the UAV is in flight, an update to a three-dimensional model of the target.
