Abstract:
An unmanned autonomous vehicle assessment and reporting system may implement a crisscross boustrophedonic flight pattern for capturing images of a structure to develop a three-dimensional model of the same. Patch scan analysis of predefined sample sizes of the roof may be captured in a separate scan and/or as part of the crisscross boustrophedonic flight pattern. The crisscross boustrophedonic flight pattern may include integrated oblique image captures via structure-facing camera angles during approach portions of each pass of a boustrophedonic flight pattern, via structure-facing end passes, and/or via rounded structure-facing end passes. A crisscross boustrophedonic flight pattern may include two or more boustrophedonic flight patterns that are at angles relative to one another.

Claim (Index 21):
An unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) assessment system for imaging a structure for three-dimensional model generation, comprising:\n at least one tilt-adjustable camera to capture images of a structure at multiple locations and at multiple angles during an implemented flight pattern; a flight pattern control system to cause the UAV to navigate a boustrophedonic flight pattern relative to the structure in which at least one portion of at least one pass of the boustrophedonic flight pattern instructs the UAV to fly backward; and an imaging system to:\n adjust a tilt angle of the camera upward to capture at least one structure-facing image of the structure during an approach portion of at least one pass of the boustrophedonic flight pattern, \n adjust the tilt angle of the camera downward to capture at least one downward-facing image of the structure as the UAV passes over the structure during at least one pass of the boustrophedonic flight pattern, and \n adjust the tilt angle of the camera upward to capture at least one structure-facing image of the structure during a withdraw portion of at least one pass of the boustrophedonic flight pattern with the UAV flying backward.
