Abstract

The present approach relates to an automatic and efficient motion plan for a drone to collect and save a qualified dataset that may be used to improve reconstruction of 3D models using the acquired data. The present architecture provides an automatic image processing context, eliminating low quality images and providing improved image data for point cloud generation and texture mapping.
