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 18):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) assessment system to image a structure for three-dimensional model generation, via operations comprising:\n transmitting flight instructions to a UAV to cause the UAV to navigate a crisscross boustrophedonic flight pattern relative to a structure, comprising:\n a first boustrophedonic flight pattern comprising a first set of passes over the structure at a first orientation, and \n a second boustrophedonic flight pattern comprising a second set of passes over the structure at a second orientation, wherein the first orientation of the first set of passes of the first boustrophedonic flight pattern are at an angle relative to the second orientation of the second set of passes of the second boustrophedonic flight pattern; and \n adjusting a tilt angle of a camera of the UAV upward to capture at least one structure-facing image of the structure during an approach portion of at least one pass of the crisscross boustrophedonic flight pattern, and adjusting 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 crisscross boustrophedonic flight pattern.
