Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2023280377A1] A method (700) for use in positioning a drone (102) with respect to a structure (101). The drone comprises a camera (103) having an optical system and an image sensor configured to produce an image (190) having a height and a width. The method includes obtaining (s702) a height value, HT, indicating an estimated height of the structure, a set of parameters associated with the camera, the set of parameters includes a focal length parameter, f, indicating a focal length of the optical system of the camera and a height parameter, Hj, indicating said height of the image. The method includes determining (s706), based on HT, f, and HJ, at least one of: i) a first distance value indicating a horizontal or vertical distance, dl, or ii) an angle value indicating an angle for the camera, Θ
