Objects of the present disclosure include providing a technique which can efficiently guide an unmanned aerial vehicle to a particular part of a target object. Provided is a control device for an unmanned aerial vehicle including a camera. The control device comprises a bright spot detection unit configured to detect, from an image captured by camera, a bright spot generated by a laser pointer; a flight control unit configured to perform, based on position of the bright spot in the image, flight control over the unmanned aerial vehicle. In such structure, the camera detects the bright spot, generated by the irradiation of spot-type indicating laser beam from the total station, on a wall surface, and the flight control over the unmanned aerial vehicle is performed in a manner that the unmanned aerial vehicle follows the bright spot.
