发明名称 Navigating a UAV with obstacle avoidance algorithms
摘要 Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for navigating a UAV that include piloting the UAV, under control of a navigation computer, in accordance with a navigation algorithm. While piloting the UAV, embodiments include reading from the GPS receiver a sequence of GPS data, anticipating a future position of the UAV, identifying an obstacle in dependence upon the future position, selecting an obstacle avoidance algorithm, and piloting the UAV in accordance with an obstacle avoidance algorithm. Identifying an obstacle in dependence upon the future position may include comprises retrieving obstacle data from a database in dependence the future position. Identifying an obstacle in dependence upon the future position may also include depicting an anticipated flight of the UAV with 3D computer graphics in dependence upon the future position and identifying an obstacle in dependence upon the depiction of the anticipated flight.
