A Path Planning Algorithm for Plant Protection UAV for Avoiding Multiple Obstruction Areas

open access: yesIFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
China's farmland environment is complex. The planting area often contains some irregular obstacles. It is hard for plant protection UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to get good planning results to avoid obstacles automatically in the autonomous mode or only through sensors. In order to improve the application scope for plant UAVs with autonomous operation
