Dubins Paths #291

Closed arthurbenemann closed 10 years ago

arthurbenemann commented 11 years ago

Implement the visualization of Dubins Paths. Here is some extra info about it.

Later this will be implemented in ArduPilot.

arthurbenemann commented 11 years ago

We need to find a way to define the waypoints. I did a graph to illustrate the problem: paths

What I want would be Ideal for survey missions,because Dubins algorithm would generate the following path (dotted): path2

The two bottom ways are simple to implement but aren't optimal.

this I assumed more suitable for planes? For copters, it can simple stop and turn while planes need to be in continuous flight motion.

arthurbenemann commented 11 years ago

Yes this is just for planes and rovers

arthurbenemann commented 11 years ago

But the idea of waypoints with headings is valid for copters running the spline code.

arthurbenemann commented 10 years ago

There is a branch with dubins implemented on my repo, so I'm closing this issue.
