In one embodiment, a method includes 1) tracking a location and a pose of a moving vehicle to which a UAV is operatively connected and 2) controlling the UAV based on the location and the pose of the moving vehicle to fly along a flight path at a predetermined distance relative to the moving vehicle. The method also includes 1) identifying, based on sensor data, an obstacle along a path traveled by the moving vehicle and 2) controlling the UAV to depart from the flight path to capture images of the obstacle.",
