Abstract: The 3D environment reconstruction data are often represented with triangular grid, 3D reconstruction data based path planning is a basic work for UAV’s autonomous flight. However, the biggest difficulty in the planning process is the large amount of planning data, the long planning time and the excessive consumption of memory. Based on the triangular grid environment data obtained by 3D reconstruction, this paper proposed a three-dimensional path planning algorithm based on visibility analysis. By experiment, the method based on the visibility analysis was compared with the A * algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm can generate three-dimensional feasible track rapidly in the case of less memory space.

Key words: three-dimensional reconstruction, triangle grid, visibility analysis, fast route planning, A * search
