1. A method comprises:
- programming a computer that assists in controlling flight of a drone to cause the drone to fly a specific pattern within a facility;
receiving by the computer sensor data from a sensor carried by the drone;
processing by the computer the sensor data to detect an unacceptable level of detected feature differences in features contained in the sensor data;
determining by the computer a new flight instruction for the drone based on the processing; and
sending by the computer the new flight instruction for the drone to a system for controlling flight of the drone.

Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle is described and includes a computer carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle to control flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle and at least one sensor. The unmanned aerial vehicle is caused to fly a specific pattern within a facility, receive sensor data from a sensor carried by the vehicle, apply processing to the sensor data to detect an unacceptable level of detected feature differences in features contained in the sensor data, determine a new flight instruction for the vehicle based on the processing; and send the new flight instruction for the vehicle to a system for controlling flight of the vehicle.
