Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may couple to a sensor payload device that includes cameras, radar, lidar, and/or other sensors. The UAV, coupled to the sensor payload device, may fly within the airspace of and/or around a property and capture images and/or sensor measurements of the property. The images and sensor measurements may be certified so that they may be verified as unaltered by viewers. A 3D representation of the property may be generated, and defects in the property may be detected by comparing the 3D representation to media depicting property defects. A report identifying the defects may be generated.
