Risk-Based Path Optimization
Published Wednesday, February 28, 2018Operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over inhabited areas requires mitigating the risk to persons on the ground. Because the risk depends upon the flight path, UAV operators need approaches that can find low-risk flight paths between the mission’s start and finish points. Since the flight paths with the lowest risk could be excessively long...
