Coverage Path Planning Design of Mapping UAVs Based on Particle Swarm optimization Algorithm
Shouqi Wang, Yongqiang Bai, Chao Zhou · 2019
Mapping UAVs have played a more important role in regional mapping than ever before, and coverage path planning is an important part of mapping tasks. However, there are few studies on single-region path planning in complex polygonal region. In this paper, we proposed a method that searches the optimal yaw-angle and flight height of mapping UAVs based on particle swarm optimization algorithm. Compared with traditional algorithms such as cattle farming algorithm, there are less redundant coverage and turning, and the flight path planned by the algorithm in this paper is more reasonable and convenient for photographic processing.
