Survey a polygon with a fixedwing

Module XML file: nav_survey_polygon.xml

From Uni Stuttgart. In the flight plan, the survey blocks call init and run functions:

  1. Initialize the variables needed for the survey to start, with nav_survey_polygon_setup(first_wp, size, angle, sweep_width, shot_dist, min_rad, altitude):
    • first_wp the first Waypoint of the polygon (WP_waypoint_name)
    • size the number of points that make up the polygon
    • angle angle in which to do the flyovers
    • sweep_width distance between the sweeps
    • shot_dist distance between the shots
    • min_rad minimal radius when navigating
    • altitude the altitude that must be reached before the flyover starts
  2. Run the survey with nav_survey_polygon_run()
