Abstract
In this literature review, we attempt to summarize and analyze some recent works on Coverage Path Planning (CPP) strategies. We are interested by those that consider UAV fleets. Covering a region of interest is like sweeping a space in either 2D or 3D, and visiting specific points just once each, to cover as much space as possible with obstacle prevention. These strategies are classified according to their evolution trends, such as grid-based methods, evolutionary algorithms, sampling based methods, etc.
