Abstract
A method and system for capturing images of an asset using an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method includes acquiring structural information of the asset, acquiring surrounding information associated with the asset, analyzing the structural information and the surrounding information of the asset to define image capturing points for the unmanned aerial vehicle, and capturing the images of portions of the asset from the defined image capturing points. Moreover, each of the defined image capturing points allows the unmanned aerial vehicle to capture an image of a portion of the asset with an even background.
