3D Path Planning of UAV Based on Improved A * Algorithm

A 3D path planning method based on A* algorithm is proposed. This method introduces the constraints of UAV and line-of-sight communication with ground stations, and it combines the UAV’s maneuverability, mission requirements and terrain information and other constraints together to avoid terrain and...
