Aerial Inspection Planner

RESOURCE

Abstract

SAND2025-04581O Aerial Inspection Planner is a software tool that creates aerial trajectories for full coverage of a 3D object at minimum cost. It can be used for inspection of aircraft, buildings, ships, wind turbines, etc. It uses a 3D model of the object, and given the coverage constraints, outputs an efficient flight path for a UAV to follow.Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.
