Abstract

This paper considers a problem of privacy-aware trajectory planning for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The objective is to navigate the UAV from an initial position to a final position within a given time limit so that the UAV avoids no-fly zones and areas with high privacy violation risk while minimizing a cost function describing the total privacy violation risk. An effective algorithm for UAV trajectory planning is developed, and its global optimality is proved.
