A method for generating a three-dimensional model of an asset includes receiving input parameters corresponding to constraints of a mission plan for operating an unmanned vehicle around an asset, generating the mission plan based on the input parameters including information of a representative asset type, wherein the mission plan includes waypoints identifying locations and orientations of one or more image sensors of the unmanned vehicle, generating a flight path for the unmanned vehicle connecting the waypoints that satisfy one or more predefined criteria, monitoring a vehicle state of the unmanned vehicle during execution of the flight path from one waypoint to the next waypoint, determining, at each waypoint, a local geometry of the asset sensed by the one or more image sensors, changing the mission plan on-the-fly based on the local geometry, and capturing images of the asset along waypoints of the changed mission plan.
