“…When shooting object A with a fixed shooting surface, the shooting range could be determined firstly, which can be known as according to equation (6). Secondly, whether other objects to be tested are within the shooting range needs to be judged according to equation (16).…”

“…However, the manual fixed point has the disadvantages of low efficiency and many blind spots, so it is difficult to guarantee the safe distance between the UAV and the target. In view of the above problems, a new dynamic target tracking method for UAV is proposed to effectively maintain the safe distance between the UAV and the target [16].…”

During the inspection process of power pole towers, manual positioning is mainly used to select the shooting viewpoints of the drone, which leads to erroneous viewpoint selection and inaccurate shootings of inspected objects. Also, neglecting the effect of the sun’s backlight on photographs contributes to poor photo quality that does not meet inspection requirements. Aiming at the selection of shooting viewpoints during multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles’ inspection on power poles, this paper proposes an automatic positioning method that determines the shooting viewpoints by considering UAV performance, airborne camera parameters, and the size of objects to be measured. Considering the factors of sun illumination, we optimize the method to ensure the positions of the viewpoints and to ensure that the images can be clearly generated so that the observers can check the power pole towers through the images when shooting is also taken into consideration. Finally, the automatic calculation method of the related viewpoints is implemented in the Java language. Experiments show that the method can accurately obtain the positions of the drones’ viewpoints and reduce the number of viewpoints, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of inspection shooting.

This article examines autonomous reconnaissance in a complex urban environment using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Environments with many buildings and other types of obstacles and/or an uneven terrain are harder to be explored as occlusion of objects of interest may often occur. First, in this article, the problem of autonomous reconnaissance in a complex urban environment via a swarm of UAVs is formulated. Then, the algorithm based on the metaheuristic approach is proposed for a solution. This solution lies in deploying a number of waypoints in the area of interest to be explored, from which the monitoring is performed, and planning the routes for available UAVs among these waypoints so that the monitored area is as large as possible and the operation as short as possible. In the last part of this article, two types of main experiments based on computer simulations are designed to verify the proposed algorithms. The first type focuses on comparing the results achieved on the benchmark instances with the optimal solutions. The second one presents and discusses the results obtained from a number of scenarios, which are based on typical reconnaissance operations in real environments.

The development of green logistics in a low-carbon environment is an important way for logistics companies to reduce operating costs, and it is also a strategic measure to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization. This study improves the bat algorithm for single-delivery express delivery and multi-delivery, determines the optimal target and seeks the optimal solution, establishes the optimal logistics distribution scheme combined with corporate profits, and finally, compares it with other algorithms to verify the feasibility of the model. In the same experimental environment, it is proven that the performance of the built model is about 20% higher than that of other methods, and the planned path is the most reasonable. In the future application of e-commerce logistics system, it is a more efficient, reasonable, and perfect discrete logistics model.
