Abstract
A method of surveying a venue includes scanning at least a portion of the venue using an unmanned aerial vehicle having at least one scanner, converting scan data gathered by the at least one scanner into three-dimensional location data, displaying the three-dimensional location data as a three-dimensional model, analyzing the three-dimensional model, and designating portions of the three-dimensional model with semantic mapping.
