A Simulation Framework for Pre-Flight Coverage and Quality Assessment of UAV Bridge Inspection Routes Under Wind Disturbance
A numerical method is proposed to assess the visual coverage and imaging quality of a pre-designed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection route prior to field deployment. The modeled inspection domain includes 336 m2 of deck-underside, exterior-girder, and pier surfaces, 5424 area-weighted cells, fixed physical simul...
