Multiperiod Coverage Path Planning and Scheduling for Airborne Surveillance
Abstract
In this paper, optimal surveillance mission plans are developed to cover disjoint areas of interest (AOIs) over an extended time horizon using multiple aerial vehicles. AOIs to be covered are divided into a number of cells. To promptly update information collected from AOIs and to ensure persistent surveillance, each cell is to be revisited within a time slot. Joint path planning and temporal scheduling is formulated as a combinatorial …
