Abstract
A flight plan of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for inspecting a structure that includes an RF transmitter is received. The structure is surveyed based on the flight plan to collect RF signal data. An RF map associated with the structure is generated based on the collected RF signal data. The flight plan is adjusted based on the generated RF map to account for detected RF signal strengths. The UAV is navigated according to the adjusted flight plan.
