Method for providing information about an object (5,6,8) using an unmanned aerial vehicle (20,20a,20b) with a data acquisition unit, characterised in that the method comprises the steps of: determining positional data (10-10′′′) with reference to the object (5,6,8), the positional data (10-10′′′) being referenced to a measuring coordinate system, • providing a digital template (11,11',30,50) regarding the object (5,6,8), the template (11,11',30,50) is selected to relate to the particular type of the object (5,6,8) and it describes an enveloping shape of the object (5,6,8), the template comprising a pre-defined first measuring path, • referencing the template (11,11',30,50) with the positional data (10-10′′′) so that the template (11,11',30,50) corresponds as to its spatial parameters to the object in the measuring coordinate system, wherein referencing comprises digitally adapting a scaling and/or a spatial orientation of the template (11,11',30,50) so that size and/or orientation of the template (11,11',30,50) corresponds to size and/or orientation of the object in the measuring coordinate system, • deriving an adapted measuring path (13,13',13′′′,54) and a spatial position of at least one data acquisition point or section related to the object (5,6,8) based on the referenced template (11,11',30,50), • controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle (20,20a,20b) in a manner such that it moves according to the adapted measuring path (13,13',13''',54) and that it approaches the at least one data acquisition point or section and • acquiring object information as to at least a part of the object (5,6,8) according to the at least one data acquisition point or section by triggering the data acquisition unit depending on fulfilling a defined distance criterion, the distance criterion defining a spatial relation between an actual position of the unmanned aerial vehicle (20,20a,20b) and the at least one data acquisition point or section. determining positional data (10-10′′′) with reference to the object (5,6,8), the positional data (10-10′′′) being referenced to a measuring coordinate system, • providing a digital template (11,11',30,50) regarding the object (5,6,8), the template (11,11',30,50) is selected to relate to the particular type of the object (5,6,8) and it describes an enveloping shape of the object (5,6,8), the template comprising a pre-defined first measuring path, • referencing the template (11,11',30,50) with the positional data (10-10′′′) so that the template (11,11',30,50) corresponds as to its spatial parameters to the object in the measuring coordinate system, wherein referencing comprises digitally adapting a scaling and/or a spatial orientation of the template (11,11',30,50) so that size and/or orientation of the template (11,11',30,50) corresponds to size and/or orientation of the object in the measuring coordinate system, • deriving an adapted measuring path (13,13',13′′′,54) and a spatial position of at least one data acquisition point or section related to the object (5,6,8) based on the referenced template (11,11',30,50), • controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle (20,20a,20b) in a manner such that it moves according to the adapted measuring path (13,13',13''',54) and that it approaches the at least one data acquisition point or section and • acquiring object information as to at least a part of the object (5,6,8) according to the at least one data acquisition point or section by triggering the data acquisition unit depending on fulfilling a defined distance criterion, the distance criterion defining a spatial relation between an actual position of the unmanned aerial vehicle (20,20a,20b) and the at least one data acquisition point or section.
