Original Abstract Submitted
Semantic three-dimensional scan is performed for the multi-phase inspection of a structure using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The multi-phase inspection includes a first inspection phase and a second inspection phase. A UAV performs the first inspection phase of the structure to determine a semantic understanding of components associated with the structure and pose information of the components. Based on the semantic understanding of the components and the pose information, a flight path indicating capture points and camera poses associated with the capture points is determined. The UAV then performs the second inspection phase of the structure according to the flight path, in which all or some of the components are inspected.
