Generating aerial paths based on properties of aerial image data

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that,
• when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an input specifying a starting location and a destination location for an aerial vehicle;
• determining, based on the starting location and the destination location, an aerial path for the aerial vehicle to follow from the starting location to the destination location;
• determining, based on the aerial path, a property of aerial image data, wherein the aerial image data is obtainable using the aerial vehicle while traversing the aerial path, and wherein the aerial image data represents an environment along the aerial path;
• determining, based on the property, a path score associated with the aerial path;
• and
• outputting the aerial path based on the path score.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving an input specifying a starting location and a destination location for an aerial vehicle;
• determining, based on the starting location and the destination location, an aerial path for the aerial vehicle to follow from the starting location to the destination location;
• determining, based on the aerial path, a property of aerial image data, wherein the aerial image data is obtainable using the aerial vehicle while traversing the aerial path, and wherein the aerial image data represents an environment along the aerial path;
• determining, based on the property, a path score associated with the aerial path;
• and
• outputting the aerial path based on the path score.
