The development of artificial intelligence and information technology provides convenient conditions for the rapid application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With more and more fields using UAVs for mission operation, higher requirements are put forward for UAV path planning. In the process of flight, intelligent avoidance of obstacles and autonomous noninterference flight are the hot spots of UAV aircraft planning research. This study first analyzes the key issues that should be considered in UAV path planning, studies the algorithm of UAV path planning based on island aerial photography, and gives the algorithm for optimization of UAV coverage path planning based on island aerial photography.
