Method for providing information about an object using an unmanned aerial vehicle with a data acquisition unit , characterised in that the method comprises the steps of: determining positional data (10-10′′′) with reference to the object , the positional data (10-10′′′) being referenced to a measuring coordinate system, • providing a digital template regarding the object , the template is selected to relate to the particular type of the object and it describes an enveloping shape of the object , the template comprising a pre-defined first measuring path, • referencing the template with the positional data (10-10′′′) so that the template 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 so that size and/or orientation of the template corresponds to size and/or orientation of the object in the measuring coordinate system, • deriving an adapted measuring path and a spatial position of at least one data acquisition point or section related to the object based on the referenced template , • controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle in a manner such that it moves according to the adapted measuring path 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 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 and the at least one data acquisition point or section. determining positional data (10-10′′′) with reference to the object , the positional data (10-10′′′) being referenced to a measuring coordinate system, • providing a digital template regarding the object , the template is selected to relate to the particular type of the object and it describes an enveloping shape of the object , the template comprising a pre-defined first measuring path, • referencing the template with the positional data (10-10′′′) so that the template 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 so that size and/or orientation of the template corresponds to size and/or orientation of the object in the measuring coordinate system, • deriving an adapted measuring path and a spatial position of at least one data acquisition point or section related to the object based on the referenced template , • controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle in a manner such that it moves according to the adapted measuring path 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 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 and the at least one data acquisition point or section. <EOS>
