摘要
UAVs have more and more applications on regional exploration, data collection and disaster relief because they are fast, flexible and unconstrained by terrains. This paper is focused on the strategy of visual reconnaissance by drones in complex spaces. The integer programming algorithm is used to minimize the number of pictures as well as ensuring the coverage. The number of shooting points in this paper decreases by 7.89% compared with that in Quaritsch's paper [7]. This article formulates the path planning problem as a Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) in order to get the shortest flight path. The TSP model is solved by genetic algorithm and the path length decreases by 10.84% compared with that in Quaritsch's paper. Meanwhile, the uncovered area ratio only increases from 6.12% to 7.32%. Therefore, the cost decline is from 7% to 10%, and the monitoring quality is nearly the same when using the algorithm in this paper. 1553-9105/Copyright © 2014 Binary Information Press
