This paper presents a measuring-position-determination method of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for automatic visual inspection system. In the proposed method, it is assumed that 3D model of the target infrastructure, the specification of measurement and UAV's features are given. Under those assumptions, the measuring positions are calculated considering the accuracy of data. In this paper, the usefulness of the proposed method is examined by a computer simulation assuming visual inspections for several bridges. In the simulation, measuring positions are determined assuming several types of UAVs for each bridge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
