Abstract

In some examples, an image of a scan target is presented in a user interface on a display associated with a computing device. The user interface receives at least one user input indicating at least one point in a perimeter or edge of a volume for encompassing the scan target presented in the image of the scan target. A graphical representation of the volume in relation to the image of the scan target is generated in the user interface. Information for defining a location of at least a portion of the volume in three-dimensional space is sent to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to cause, at least in part, the UAV to scan at least a portion of the scan target corresponding to the volume.
