1. A system comprising:
- one or more articles of manufacture includingcircuitry for obtaining first data including optical data from a vicinity of a reference surface in contact with a first unmanned aerial device;
circuitry for signaling a decision as an automatic and conditional response to the application of a first recognition criterion to the optical data from the vicinity of the reference surface in contact with the first unmanned aerial device whether or not to cause the first unmanned aerial device to be disengaged from the reference surface; and
circuitry for signaling a decision as an automatic and conditional response to the application of the first recognition criterion to the optical data from the vicinity of the reference surface whether or not to cause the first unmanned aerial device to obtain second data with the first unmanned aerial device disengaged from the reference surface.
