In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may determine a plurality of contour paths spaced apart from each other along at least one axis associated with a scan target. For instance, each contour path may be spaced away from a surface of the scan target based on a selected distance. The UAV may determine a plurality of image capture locations for each contour path. The image capture locations may indicate locations at which an image of a surface of the scan target is to be captured. The UAV may navigate along the plurality of contour paths based on a determined speed while capturing images of the surface of the scan target based on the image capture locations.
