Systems and methods for adaptive property analysis via autonomous vehicles
An unmanned autonomous vehicle (aerial or ground) assessment and reporting system may conduct micro scans of interior portions of a structure, such as walls, windows, doorways, stairs, and the like. Scan data from one or more sensor types may be compared with stored profile data from a library of profiles using computer vision or other matching techniques to identify characteristics, defects, damage, construction materials, etc. An adaptive response system may modify the types of sensors used for scanning and/or the scanning pattern itself based on matched profile data. Modifications to the scanning process are implemented in real-time based on identified characteristics of the interior portions of the structure.
1. An unmanned autonomous vehicle assessment system for scanning interior boundaries of a structure from within the structure, comprising:
at least one sensor on an unmanned autonomous vehicle to capture scan data during a detailed micro scan of interior boundaries of a structure that includes a detailed micro scan of an interior doorway leading from a first interior room to a second interior room;
a processor to create an interior planview map of at least a portion of the interior of the structure during the detailed microscan of the interior boundaries of the structure,
wherein the interior planview map includes the interior boundaries, including the interior doorway;
a non-transitory medium to store the interior planview map;
a library of data profiles corresponding to a sensor type of the at least one sensor; and
an evaluator module to:
compare scan data of the interior doorway captured by the at least one sensor with at least one of a plurality of data profiles stored within the library of data profiles accessible to the unmanned autonomous vehicle assessment system during the detailed micro scan;
identify a stored data profile that matches the scan data, the stored data profile identifying a characteristic of the interior doorway from which the scan data was captured;
determine at least one adaptive scan action to be performed by the unmanned autonomous vehicle in response to the identified characteristic of the interior doorway; and
determine at least one adaptive navigation action to be performed within the structure based on the interior doorway included in the interior planview map.
