Abstract
A system and method for painting a structure. The system comprises: a computer vision processing system configured to obtain images of a target structure and generate first instructions signals for real time communication to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having a paint fluid dispensing system provided thereon; a control device at the UAV responsive to received the first instruction signals for controlling real time navigating of the UAV to a location at the target structure; and the computer vision processing system configured to generate second instruction signals for real time communication to the UAV, wherein the control device at the UAV is configured to automatically actuate the paint fluid dispensing system to apply a paint fluid at the location on the target structure in response, the received second instruction signals configuring the UAV to render a desired visual image on the target structure.
