UAV Area Coverage Planning
A completed master's thesis project focused on mission definition and coverage path planning for unmanned aerial vehicles. The ROS 2 application allows users to define polygonal areas on a map and generate coverage paths using OpenNav Coverage and Fields2Cover. A custom Spanning Tree Coverage (STC) implementation provides an additional planning approach for comparison and validation. The project explores ROS 2 application development, integration of coverage-planning components, and the generation of reference paths for downstream UAV systems.
