An Automatic Approach to UAV Flight Planning and Control for Photogrammetric Applications: A Test Case in the Asturias Region (Spain)

This paper deals with the implementation of an automatic and novel approach for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight planning and control based on photogrammetric principles. Software which performs multiple tasks related to aerial photogrammetry and particularized to UAV systems was developed. Specifically, the flight planning and control framework incorporates a robust geometric control that guarantees the effectiveness, precision, and reliability of image acquisition. A real case study was generated to test and validate the flight planning and control strategies developed here.
