Estimating the term…
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for an unmanned aerial system inspection system. One of the methods is performed by a UAV and includes obtaining, from a user device, flight operation information describing an inspection of a vertical structure to be performed, the flight operation information including locations of one or more safe locations for vertical inspection. A location of the UAV is determined to correspond to a first safe location for vertical inspection. A first inspection of the structure is performed is performed at the first safe location, the first inspection including activating cameras. A second safe location is traveled to, and a second inspection of the structure is performed. Information associated with the inspection is provided to the user device.
A flight planning system comprising one or more computers and one or more computer storage media storing instructions that when executed by the one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
A method implemented by a flight planning system comprising one or more computers for determining flight plans to inspect vertical structures by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a system comprising one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
The non-transitory computer storage medium of 21, wherein the user interface:
The non-transitory computer storage medium of 21, wherein the representation comprises a model of the vertical structure, the model rotatable about one or more axes.
