A set of images of a three-dimensional (3D) inspection object collected by a drone during execution of a first flight path may be received, along with telemetry data from the drone. A tagged set of images may be stored, with each tagged image being stored together with a corresponding drone position at a corresponding time that the tagged image was captured, as obtained from the telemetry data. A mapping of the set of tagged images to corresponding portions of a 3D model of the 3D inspection object may be executed, based on the telemetry data. Based on the mapping, at least one portion of the 3D inspection object omitted from the set of tagged images may be identified. A second flight path may be generated for the drone that specifies a position of the drone to capture an image of the at least one omitted portion of the 3D inspection object.
