Abstract
In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may determine, based on a three-dimensional (3D) model including a plurality of points corresponding to a scan target, a scan plan for scanning at least a portion of the scan target. For instance, the scan plan may include a plurality of poses for the UAV to assume to capture images of the scan target. The UAV may capture with one or more image sensors, one or more images of the scan target from one or more poses of the plurality of poses. Further, the UAV may determine an update to the 3D model based at least in part on the one or more images. Additionally, the UAV may update the scan plan based at least in part on the update to the 3D model.
