In some examples, one or more processors of an aerial vehicle access a scan plan including a sequence of poses for the aerial vehicle to assume to capture, using the one or more image sensors, images of a scan target. A next pose of the scan plan is checked for obstructions, and based at least on detection of an obstruction, the one or more processors determine whether a backup pose is available for capturing an image of the targeted point orthogonally along a normal of the targeted point. Responsive to determining that the backup pose is unavailable for capturing an image of the targeted point orthogonally along the normal of the targeted point, image capture of the targeted point is performed at an oblique angle to the normal of the targeted point.
