Abstract

In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may access a scan plan that includes a sequence of poses for the UAV to assume to capture images of a scan target using one or more image sensors. The UAV may check a next pose of the scan plan for obstructions. Responsive to detection of an obstruction, the UAV may determine a backup pose based at least on a field of view of the next pose. The UAV may control a propulsion mechanism to cause the UAV to fly to assume the backup pose. The UAV may capture, based on the backup pose and using the one or more image sensors, one or more images of the scan target.
