A Ground-Risk-Map-Based Path-Planning Algorithm for UAVs in an Urban Environment with Beetle Swarm Optimization

This paper presents a path-planning strategy for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in urban environments with a ground risk map. The aim is to generate a UAV path that minimizes the ground risk as well as the flying cost, enforcing safety and efficiency over inhabited areas. A quantitative model is pr...
