Measurement apparatus, measurement instruction apparatus, measurement system, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

A measurement system comprising:

• a measurement apparatus to be mounted on a flying craft that flies in vicinity of an architectural structure, the measurement apparatus comprising:
• processing circuitry configured to control the flying craft to move to a measurement position indicated as a relative position with respect to a position of the flying craft and measuring the architectural structure;
• and
• a measurement instruction apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to perform an observation of a position of the architectural structure and a position of the flying craft and, based on a result of the observation, to provide to the measurement apparatus an instruction indicating the measurement position,
• wherein the measurement apparatus controls the flying craft to fly on a flight plane at a predetermined distance with respect to the architectural structure, and
• the measurement instruction apparatus provides an instruction to the measurement apparatus indicating the measurement position as the relative position on the flight plane with respect to the flying craft.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer of a measurement instruction apparatus to execute processing comprising:

• performing an observation of a position of an architectural structure and a position of a flying craft;
• providing, based on a result of the observation, an instruction indicating a measurement position where the architectural structure is to be measured as a relative position with respect to the position of the flying craft;
• and
• measuring the architectural structure at the measurement position,
• wherein the measurement instruction apparatus is mounted on a stationary flying craft that is stationary at a position where the architectural structure and the flying craft are observable.
