| Shrnutí: | Search and Rescue (SAR) efforts in mountainous disaster areas with high and low elevations face significant challenges due to complex terrain and potential visual obstacles. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer a promising avenue to ensure full coverage monitoring in a safe and efficient manner. This study reveals a unique UAV optimal deployment technique customized for these high-demand situations. We focus on an optimal coverage algorithm that improves UAV deployment position and deployment height to improve search area coverage, avoid obstacle interference, and work in different terrain conditions. This combined optimization challenge ensured smooth and safe mission completion, cementing its position as a valuable asset for UAV operations in disaster-affected mountainous regions. Simulation tests confirmed that the strategy we introduced rapidly achieves extensive coverage of 3D uneven mountainous areas, thus emphasizing the potential and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. |
