Smooth Visual-Coverage Path Planning for Escort Missions using UAVs

Résumé

This paper investigates the trajectory generation problem for a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) performing escort missions with respect to a convoy with a timevarying velocity. Using camera-equipped UAVs, we propose a framework allowing to adapt the UAVs altitudes to achieve a trade-off between the size of the covered surface and the image resolution by solving an optimization problem. Furthermore, we perform polynomial refinement based on the generated planar way-points to yield a minimum-jerk time-parameterized trajectory with dynamical constraints on the virtual leader to follow. The numerical simulations presented in this paper show the effectiveness of the optimization algorithm in adapting the UAVs altitudes to satisfy a compromise between the size of the covered area and its corresponding image resolution.
