| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents the usage of visibility based guidance cues in order to find waypoints useful for maintaining communication in a multi UAV (Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle), single operator system. Based upon the overlay of visibility graphs (for radio communication) and Voronoi diagrams (for maximum clearance motion paths), the paper presents simulations of three staged methods, allowing the computation of waypoints suitable for establishing a potential multi-hop connection between an operator and a primary UAV in an urban or otherwise cluttered environment. The methods present generic solutions for 2D planes, ensuring applicability for indoor, outdoor, and other structured environments through a potential interconnection of several non-coplanar 2D planes. The presented methods increase in computational complexity as they are capable of handling more complex scenarios. However, the presented methods are overall still deemed computationally acceptable and present themselves as good candidates for onboard implementation on vehicles with limited computational power. | en_US |
