Abstract

A computerized system is disclosed. The computer system executes software that receives a geographic location having one or more coordinates of a roof, receives a validation of the location of the roof, and generates unmanned aircraft information based on the one or more coordinates of the validated location. The unmanned aircraft information includes an offset from the roof to direct an unmanned aircraft to fly an autonomous flight path above the roof, and camera control information to direct a camera of the unmanned aircraft to capture images of the roof at a predetermined time interval while the unmanned aircraft is flying the flight path. The computer system receives images of the roof captured by the camera while the unmanned aircraft is flying the autonomous flight path and generates a structure report for the roof based at least in part on the images.
