Abstract

A computer stores dense maps generated by one or more aerial vehicles. The computer generates a global graph based on the dense maps and a sparse map. The computer stores a representation of one or more paths traversed by the one or more aerial vehicles within the global graph. The computer determines a path from an origin location to a destination location based on the global graph. The determined path enables an aerial vehicle to avoid objects.
